I think we all want shot of that thing, and I expect I won't be the
first to throw a party when it goes. But I'm not sure we want to remove
it until we have a better replacement, do we?
I have been experimenting with Syntax::Keyword::Match:
my $n = ...;
match($n : ==) {
case(1) { say "It's one" }
case(2) { say "It's two" }
case(3) { say "It's three" }
default { say "It's something else" }
}
but I'm not sure it's ready to go into core yet - still more features
and dogfooding to be done yet.
