No really. In perl itself, I just to see...

Should {} be an empty hash rather than an empty code?
Given that an empty hashref is probably much more useful than an empty
block, I propose that {} be an empty hash and {;} be an empty block.

Yep. My mistake.
If that works, then I think it means we can write:

More questions. ;) It seems to me, that the following constructs not

I'll note briefly here that questions regarding implementation (in Perl 6

So, the return in pointy sub thread got me thinking about useful uses of return
in pointy subs that involve being able to return multiple times. And this is
what I came up with, it's an implementation of 'choose':

Let's assume that = = when chained return an accumulated
boolean and the least or greatest value where the condition was
true. E.g.
0 2 3 returns 0 but true
1 2 1 returns 1 but false
