[roles] Start to fill out the roles chapter a bit.

Remove (?) from Roles chapter in outline, add an idea of something else we could have a chapter on.

Put back .?, .+, .* for method calls by name.

Support for class Dog { does Smell }.

Get role to instance application implemented (operators are fully in Perl 6, applicator is in NQP with one little Parrot-specific bit that we can eliminate later).

Switch from Object to Mu.

Rip out old horrific versions of does and but, and add back an initial and not-yet-working Perl 6 implementation that just uses the meta-model.

Make infix:<.=> go through the same mechanism as dotty-parsed .= (should kill That RT Ticket where they're inconsistent occasionally in master...)

Use the compose method on Attribute to do accessor method generation now, rather than doing it in the actions. This means that we're now implementing the Attribute meta-object API from metamodel.pod and using it.

Start to fill out the Attribute meta-object implementation. Untested, beyond the fact that it compiles.

Get role composition conflict detection and resolution by having a method provided working again.

Update some array creations.

Start to fill out role to role application, including flagging up conflicts. Sort of works, but it appears that some issue in push and another issue prevent the conflict analysis working out properly just yet.

Write Perl6::Metamodel::RoleToClassApplier in NQP instead of PIR. Yay!

Fill out collision and requirement handling a bit. Note that we do it all ourselves - later, we'll track enough to give better errors, but also it'll make it easier to totally drop basing this of Parrot's Role PMC in the future.

First cut of role to class application. Very incomplete, but works for applying methods from a single role, and shows things flow through the overall model correctly.

Get us building signatures for subs/methods/role bodies lazily.

Fill out role applier determination logic.

Gah, I screwed up the last commit. Corrected.

Move metamodel-y stuff to a dedicated directory. Add a low-level role ParrotBacked that we'll compose into ClassHOW and RoleHOW and factors out the commonalities of things that are backed by Parrot Class or Role PMCs.

Various tweaks to .params and .arity to try and be a bit more correct with list handling. Seems another bug blocks things though.

..., ??? and !!!.

Remove ref from signature introspection, in favor of parcel. Also add .capture, so we can introspect for |$foo.

Start to eliminate is ref in favor of the \ quantifier. Stub in parsing and various bits for the | quantifier too.

S12-class/basic.t passes again.

Few fixes that seem to have us doing junction auto-threading properly again.

Fix pasto spotted by mathw++.

Give Junction a decent custom .new, meaning we can now nicely write all of any/all/one/none in the setting, as well as the various operators.

Start to get some junctional bits back in. Not yet working (but want to continue hacking on my desktop, not on my laptop :-)).

Parse various junctional operators.

We now pass mixed-placeholders.t (and are only a push function off passing slurpy-placeholders.t, it appears).

Fill out metamodel details somewhat. No doubt this will need and get tweaks and additions, but it'll serve as a first cut.

Tweak the release announcement and change log to clarify what the nested siggies thing really is.
