The great "let's try and fit all the perl6 ideas into perl5" stampede
is on. Who wants to be next? ;-)

Someone at YAPC::Europe mentioned something about a ... statement that would
allow example code such as
if ($foo) {
# Do something
...
}
be syntactically legal, but a run time error. This allows you to put your
sample code into perl to syntax check it.
Here's a prototype patch for 5.6 that implements this. It makes ... in the
context of statement a synonym for "die 'Unfinished code marked by ...';"
