This is exactly what went through my mind about a half second after I
posted the message.
$newbaz is like($.baz), I would think, would have to raise a run-time
exception if $newbaz isn't "like" $.baz. Where would the exception be
handled, though? Inside the method/subroutine, or outside of its scope?
