I'm having trouble understanding "anonymous methods invented by
the compiler" in this context, probably because in a Perl 6
sense I don't think of inner blocks as being "invented" by the
compiler. They're right there in the code where the programmer
wrote them.
Perhaps you could clarify what you mean by "inner block" here?
