Yes, though in this case it's indistinguishable from C<if>, since //
defaults to $_ anyway. However, these are different:
print, next when 3;
print, next if 3;

If there reasonably can be block modifiers, I will unreasonably
declare that there can't be. You can always say:
do { print; next; } if|when /stgh/;
(It's still the case that do-while is specifically disallowed, however.)
