Hmm. C<when> seems to be synonymous with C<if> (almost)
when ($foo) { ... } # Does this mean if ($_ eq $foo)?
if ($foo) { ... }
However ...

What happens to C<next> within stand-alone C<when> statements? Do
C<when> statements never stand alone? And if C<when> and C<if> are
mostly synonymous, the differing behavious of C<next> within them would
be confusing.
