Nevertheless, Rule 2 applies here: several months ago we decided it was okay for Perl 6 to allow a conditional modifier inside a loop modifier because it makes it easier to write list comprehensions close to the way mathematicians like to write them:
%desc{$_} if .path for <n ne e se s sw w nw up down>
Also, any parenthesized or bracketed expression is now parsed as a statement, so you can nest modifiers to your heart's content as long as you parenthesize. In particular, this allows you to use a list comprehension for a slice subscript.
Update: changed @desc to %desc as noted by wolverian++

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
