Uh oh. I do that quite a bit and more and more of my code examples are like
that. I like knowing that I have a proper lexical block there to
encapsulate things. To me, the fact that the following prints "3" is a
feature I prefer to avoid:
package Foo; my $x = 3;
package Bar; say $x;
If I switch those to postfix blocks, it won't compile.
