More or less. Technically: call <$fh.next> and execute the loop body if that method
returns true. Whether it still has the automatic binding to $_ and the implicit
definedness check is yet to be decided.

That's a scalar context? I assumed it was list context from your previous post:

In a list context:

	<$fh>		# Calls $fh.each

At any rate, I hope that it's bound to $_ -- nice conversion from Perl 5's behavior, that.
