Sure, that works too. Although for want(), I can see this instead:
if (want 'hash') { return %hash } # rather than eq
and that reads better than
if (context hash) { return %hash }
Hmm.

Due to the recent "rename local()" and "can't return an array"
discussions here, we should also consider "rename wantarray()"
as well.
