That will be a syntax error. Generators are too mind-stretching to
inflict on novices as ordinary syntax. You'll have to say something
explicit like:
my @b = generate {
for @a -> $_ {
yield ...
}
}
It's vaguely possible that "generate" and "do" are the same thing.
It's quite possible that the best name is something else entirely.
But "for" ain't it...

Hmm? I see no perl5-isms there. Or rather, I see no non-perl6-isms...
