So this is where I saw this. I distinctly remember seeing this feature in Perl many years ago, but then when I tried to find it I really, really couldn't, so I assumed it was something I had dreamt up.

However ridiculous it sounds, a weight is lifted from my chest.

There's also http://p3rl.org/Syntax::Feature::Junction for perl5, which is a descendant of an early backport of the perl6 concept by Damian.
