Which, then, would you like:
To implicitly localize $_, losing access to an outer version,
or to have to change between implicit and explicit operations?
for @A {
for @B -> $x {
when /a/ { s/x/y/; }

when /b/ -> {...}
...
}
The when keyword can use a localizer that makes its target obvious but
slightly counter-intuitive.
given $x {
when /a/ { ... }
}
The problem is operations within the when-block that might expect to
use $_, the defaultdefault variable.
given $x {
when /a/ { s/a/A/; }
}
After all, I used a def

Interpretation #2:
for @foo -> $a { $b := $a; ... }
I like this second one, as a short-cut, but it's not wo
