Good read, thanks.

Oddly, enough, I only know MJD from his perl advocacy.
Last time I looked, perls oop was entirely built as a 'pattern'
(with only minor 'helpers' like bless, self and new). Wonder if
he's been a driver for some of perl6s new features?

This is OT, but self and new are both adhoc. All you get is UNIVERSAL,
bless, and @ISA out of the box.
