I was under the impression that compile time properties, like runtime
properties, can be arbitrarily invented and/or assigned. If that is
correct, why would "my $var is true", meaningle

"last" almost works, except it's specific to loops
But last also works for anonymous blocks, which aren't loops. (Aren't they?

In fact, that's why I asked. I have a lot of code that
