It relates to some old problems in the early part of the RFC/Apocalypse process, and the fact that:say $_ for 1..10 for 1..10 Was ambiguous. The bottom line was that you needed to define your parameter name for that to work, and defining a parameter name on a modifier means that you have to parse the expression without knowing what the parameters are, which is ugly in a very non-stylistic sense.

Let's get P6 out the door, and then discuss what tiny details like this do or don't make sense.
