I would argue that it is in some sense, if not an Official Perl 6 Exception,
since it jumps out of several levels of a match. But yeah, I'm probably
just looking at this from an implementor's viewpoint.

Aha! Got it, thank you.
While I'm messing about with REs, is it specified how :any and hypotheticals
interoperate?
"ab" =~ rx:any / $match := (\w) /;
print $match;
Can that be undefined behaviour? Please? :)
