in reply to On timely destruction?

Apo 4 describes my $foo is post { close } = open 'bar.txt';, so that's no problem. I wonder what would happen on push our @foos, $foo, though. Are properties connected to variables or to their values?

They can be attached to either. That purticular prop is on the variable, since it's attached to the my. If you wanted it to be on the value, you should have written my $foo = (open 'bar.txt') is post {close}. If I understand and remember Apoc4 correctly, which I might not.

Now if I didn't have to put is post {close} in every open but could have that implicit, that would be better. Except when I use closures...  is post { close if .dead } maybe, where an object can test if it has no (other) references, and registered that it needs to be counted.
