Hi, 

  sub foo (Code $code) { 
    my $return_to_caller = -> $ret { return $ret }; 

    $code($return_to_caller); 
    return 23; 
  } 

  sub bar (Code $return) { $return(42) } 

  say foo &bar; # 42 or 23? 

I think it should output 42, as the return() in the pointy 
block $return_to_caller affects &foo, not the pointy block. 
To leave a pointy block, one would have to use leave(), right?
