I completely agree with you and that is why my proposed map-replacing
macro (which I might put on CPAN under "Macrame::map" or something)
does C< for(do{BLOCK}) { NEXT_BLOCK_LEFTWARD } > instead of
simply assigning to $_.
A ( one in, one out ) mapping rewriter would be unacceptable confusing
except under a new keyword; that was "cmap"
although I did not put sufficient time into the post to work out bugs and
even maintain consistent terminology through it. Guilty as charged.
