Oh, that’s an interesting take. I’ve long been looking for newer developments on Awk’s clause structure, and this seems like an interesting take (though I’m unclear on whether I can have multiple begin/end clauses, which are the best thing about Awk’s version). It also finally connects this idea to something else in my mind—specifically advice[1] and CLOS’s :before/:after/:around methods[2]. (I guess Go’s defer also counts?)
