I believe I marked which ones commute in A4.

: Additionally, can you chain statement modifiers?
: 
: do_this() if $a unless $b;
: print for @mylist if $debug;
: 	or less efficiently,
: print if $debug for @mylist;
: print "$x, $y" for @xlist -> $x for @ylist -> $y;

No, still can't chain them.

: Or is this for syntax even valid?:   (question colon not meant as ternary ;)
: print "$x" for @xlist -> $x;

Nope.  You only get implicit $_ with the for modifier.

: If you can't, it might be something to consider.

Did.  :-)
