S12 says that .WHAT stringifies to a short name, which is the reason
for the current behavior.

S12 also says that .WHO stringifies to the long name, which might be
what you expect.

So, perhaps we need to implement .WHO .  But that should probably
be done as part of Protoobject (which needs a bit of a refactor
anyway to make it even more Perl6ish).
