Thanks.  Jacinta has also pointed out, privately, that my example of
equivalent Perl code doesn't have exactly the same semantics as the version
above.

I was intending it more as a pseudo-code illustration than strictly executable
code, but I didn't actually say that, so sorry for any unintended confusion I
caused there.
