Of course with Perl 6 modules will be MUCH easier to

Consider Perl 5, where File::Find is a core module. While the interface
may have been nice in 1995 (though I doubt even that), it's been widely
regarded as awful for at least three years. It's likely never to be
removed from the core.

The standard Perl library will be almost entirely removed. The point of this

Sorry, P5.
Before the grammar police attack...
my $c = (defined($a) ?? $a :: $b);
Parens for clarity.

If you contrast it with an explicit try block, sure, it looks better.
But
that's not what I compare it with. I compare it with Perl 5's:

That has some known

I was reading over some code that used the MIDI module, and saw the
Cwrite_to_file method. I began wondering, how does one report the
error if he feels like it, but let the module report the error if not,
in a concise way.
What about something along the lines of a Ccatch statement modifier,

These matters are covered at some length in RFC 88 and Apocalypse 4.

Remember that a Ctry without a CCATCH catches all exceptions
and returns
Cundef (the same as a Perl 5 Ceval block does).
So you just want:
try { $opus.write_to_file($file) }
err die

Is that Cerr die or Cor die ?
It's Cerr, which is low precedence C//.
And if so, what's Cerr and where can I find more on it?
Hmm. I think I may have missed Luke's point. Which was (presumably):

In which case I think we just fall back to:
try{$opus.write_to_file($file); CATCH {die Couldn't write to $file: $!}}
which is, after all, only 5 characters
