Improvements for overloading

[tobyink]

• Test cases for overloading, including a TODO (for which I'll file a separate issue).
• Allow attributes to take part in overloading without needing an accessor. This only makes sense for unary-like overloads.

class Person {
       has $name is overload(q[""]);
}

Can you rebase this one too?

I can't do it easily (assuming you are talking to me)

I was talking to @tobyink, as it's his pull request(:

Actually, I am really not a fan of the overload on attributes.

Actually, I am okay with this if we explicitly check for unary operators and die on all others.

A test case for ++ and -- would be nice as those are two operators that would maybe make sense for this.

Also maybe %{} and family as well.
