The goal state is that when(...){...} is directly equivalent to a smartmatch,
with none of the utter madness now in evidence. when(1) was hotly debated for
the sake of ==1, but in the end I said no, despite being briefly distracted by
its shine.
So, C<< when (1) { ... } >> should be an error. It could be compile-time, but
runtime will do for now.
C<< when($x) >> cannot be compile time, because $x could contain a valid value
for the rhs of ~~.

I hope this has disconfused you.
