I would go as far as claiming that what's in the parens itself in that case is yet another minilanguage (very closely related to Perl itself: it consists of exactly three Perl statements!) that does not fit in other parts of Perl's syntax, and thus a very special case: of course Perl 6 knows better and gives it an entirely different name which IIRC is C<loop> and not by chance takes one letter more wrt "for" since that's for huffmanization and in fact it is thought to be on a much sparser basis to begin with.A couple of points.
