perl 5 already does that:
print '$_' foreach split /(=)/, rank=?;
print \n;
print '$_' foreach split /\s*(=)\s*/, rank = ?;

# 'rank' '=' '?'
# 'rank' '=' '?'

Something like this:

According to Damian Conway:
{
temp sub false() {0}

}
I'm a bit concerned about what that would do to subroutines in other
