I sent this to BÁRTHÁZI only instead of BÁRTHÁZI and the list as well. So
here's a forward of what I sent and he replied to.

If not already possible, it would be neat to be able to define your own
quote blocks. Such as being able to define how to parse the below lines:
$result = q:sql/SELECT * FROM table/;
for q:sql/SELECT * FROM table WHERE id=$id/ {
say $_.id ~ ' -> ' ~ $_.value;
}
Or someone could write a module for P6SQL ? (Pardon me for not remembering
exactly how HEREDOCs work in P6)
p6sql_query "SQLPROC">>
$result = SELECT * FROM table
FOREACH ROW IN $result AS $field
SAY $field.id " -> " $field.value
END FOREACH
SQLPROC
Or maybe I'm getting a bit too crazy.
