Probably most similar to injunctively. But sequentially. I had been
thinking of something like this:
while ()
{
print "matched $_" if $_ == for(1,2,3,4,5);
}
__DATA__
1

9
3

will distribute that evaluations sequentially.
Yes, but will
In the L2R thread, I made a comment where I contrasted a for loop
with a junction. On reflection, I think we could go further.
If we defined
my $prev = 0;
sub mangle($value) { $value + $prev; $prev=$value }
and then used it as:
my $x = any(1,2,3);
$y = mangle($x);
then the semant
