Ok, I realize I've been misunderstanding both your bug report and your
stated opinion when we talked about this on #perl6 the other day. I
thought you wanted 'return' inside a map block to act as if it were
within an invisible sub body (making both snippets of code in the
ticket return 2 instead of 1). Your actual request makes much more
sense. :)
As a plus side, I now suddenly understand what you mean by 'return'
being lexically bound. That's both DWIMmy and cool.
