It's not clear that it isn't.  We're not so far off of a yield-like
method on continuations here, except that yield statements typically
assume the current sub as the continuation object.  Perhaps Perl 6
will have ordinary blocks that can function as continuations to the
surrounding list context.  It's a long shot, but ya never know, ya know.
