I was wondering whether the Perl 'while (<>){' idiom will continue to be
supported in Perl 6? I seem to recall people posting example code the list
using it (although I can't dig any up), but it seems to me that if Perl 6's
lazy list implementation is sufficiently smart, it could just be replaced

Actually, I once found myself wondering why while doesn't set $_ all
the time anyway... It would be nice to do things like
while ($iterator->each()) { ... }
while (query->nextResult()) { ... }

Because the logic of the while construct doesn't require any
connection between the condition and the topic
Wow. Since you went to the trouble of writing all this up, it really
ought to go in a FAQ somewhere.

It probably already is in a FAQ somewhere; I just don't know where. :)
