I don't know if you noticed the earlier thread, but there's a few people
(including myself) who are still having trouble understanding how your
proposal works.

Could you please provide a brief idiomatic example of some code where this
proposal would provide a real practical benefit--enough that slow learners
like myself can really understand what it makes easier, and how? It would be
great if you could provide the equivalent Perl 5 code too.

TIA,
