petdance/scratch — Issue #317: `NameSpace.add_sub($name, &sub)` does not honor given name for methods

The namespace.add_sub method accepts a name parameter for the sub object.
When passed a sub object that has the :method flag set, the given name parameter is ignored in favor of the name compiled into the sub object.
```
(git:master) ~/kakapo$ cat src/Pmc/test.nqp
module A {
method a() { say("a"); }

}

class B {
INIT {
my $A := pir::get_hll_namespace__pp( pir::split('::', 'A') );
my &a := pir::inspect__pps($A, 'methods');

my $B := pir::get_hll_namespace__pp( pir::split('::', 'B') );
$B.add_sub('foo', &a);
}
}

my $b := B.new;
$b.a;
$b.foo;(git:master) ~/kakapo$ parrot-nqp src/Pmc/test.nqp

```

See in particular the code at [http://trac.parrot.org/parrot/browser/tags/RELEASE_2_6_0/src/pmc/namespace.pmc#L173 namespace.pmc, line 173] which I think is a bug.
