My guess was that it would behave as if handed a list. So:
for @foo -> $bar, $baz {
when /something/ { ... }
}
would do a "match if any($bar,$baz) =~ /something/".
If this were the case and defaulting constructs used topic, they might
get a list instead of a scalar, from time to time. Interesting...
