There is of course no need to declare the default, which will be very
likely beyond 99%. I won't discuss P6 syntax here, which could lead to
sub bar() will reuse_P1 { ... }
Piers' statement was related to solving the halting problem, which isn't
really positive. I don't throw or catch pies, but CPS returns are
currently the major performance loss Parrto has.
