class X::Syntax::NoSelf

<p id="2957391">Compilation error due to implicitly using a <span class="code">self</span> that is not there </p>

class X::Syntax::NoSelf does X::Syntax { }

Compile time error thrown when $.foo style calls are used where no invocant is available.

For example the code

$.meth;

in the program body throws the error

===SORRY!===
Variable $.meth used where no 'self' is available

because $.meth is short for $(self.meth), and there is no self available in mainline.
