This quote from S04
<quote>
Outside of any kind of expression brackets, a final closing curly on a
line (not counting whitespace or comments) always reverts to the
precedence of semicolon whether or not you put a semicolon after it.
(In the absence of an explicit semicolon, the current statement may
continue on a subsequent line, but only with valid statement
continuators such as else. A modifier on a loop statement must
continue on the same line, however.)

seems to say that a style like this can't be used by perl6-programmers:
loop
{
...
}
while $x;
I'd like to ask if it's necessary to make this programming-style
invalid for perl6? This style is used at least by "GNU Coding
Standards" (section 5.1) at
http://www.gnu.org/prep/standards/standards.html
I also like this style, as it lines up both the keywords and the curlies.
