Yes, though in this case it's indistinguishable from C<if>, since //
defaults to $_ anyway.  However, these are different:
    print, next when 3;
    print, next if 3;
  Will given be a statement modifier also?  This would be useful for

        say "$_ => %hash{$_}" given get_random_key();

        say "$_ => %hash{$_}" for get_random_key();
