Lots of interesting ideas. But I don't think the reverse-test

my macro statement_control:<test> { "when .accepts: " }

IIRC, you don't even need .accepts for this. You could just say
given $pattern {
when $a ~~ $_ { ... }
when $b ~~ $_ { ... }
when $c ~~ $_ { ... }
}
...since an explicit smart-match is a boolean expression (it is, isn't
it?), and boolean expressions implicitly smart-match according to
their truth. Right?
