A lot of people read "if (foo) { bar }" as "if foo then bar" in their heads.
I'm one of them. Its not a previous syntax thing, its a translation to

Fair enough. It's not something I do myself, but I can see that many people

I guess it might be nice to just do that with a block...
my $n;
while { $n++; @accum } < $total {
...;
}
since we already have a nice do-this-then-do-this syntax.
Sure, it looks a little weird in a for loop:
for ($i = 0; $i < $X; { $i++; some_func() }) {
...;
}
but
I'm very much in favour of heteronymifying scalar vs list comma too.
Or else eliminating one of them.

Hi everyone!
In t/src/io.c, specifically test 9 and 10, I wonder if the PIO_eof check up
