How is
$flag=1
clearer than
POST{close FOO;&dropLock}
in this example? I don't think the consistency issue is strong enough.
We are also being inconsistent by not suggesting a PRE which would be
analogous to BEGIN and would run at the beginning of a sub even though
it is defined halfway into it. For interior blocks, a label would
be used to say which block we're firing after. Or we always use sub
blocks and that's that.
