I've missed out on some Perl6 stuff, so excuse me as this was probably
already discussed.
Does that mean this is possible?
my Int $i = 0;
LABEL: {
say $i;
$i++;
next if $i < 5;
}
With no next/break/continue/whatever it is, the code block is executed
only once. But you still have the ability to treat it as a loop of sorts?

Yes! that would be awesome! I've never used Haskell, but I can see the
good uses for it :)
