I haven't decided whether it makes sense for C<if> or C<while> to try
to pass anything to their blocks. We'd either have to hardwire it
syntactically to look for -> and do something different, which is icky,
or we'd have to make it assume -> $_ when there wasn't an arrow, which
is ickier. People aren't going to expect $_ to get overridden like
that.
