Well if you look at the proposed...
$_ = "monkey ";
$foo = "coward";
with ($foo){
print;
print "$_";
}
Would print "coward monkey", which will give you unexpected results if you
are used to having the same output for both, "coward coward".
But I guess the above would not replace $_ which would be very inconvenient
if you had to output it with a whole bunch of other stuff. Like "I am not a
coward" which can be easily done with print "I am not a $_"; will now have
to be written in two separate lines, and possibly more if there is more to
follow.

Okay... I've been mostly ignoring this thread. But can someone reiterate
the
difference between the above and
for($foo){
print "I am not a $foo\n";
# or:
print "I am not a ";
print;
}
???
