  Description     : Perl 5 module that implements the Perl 6 'gather/take' control structure

Perl 6 provides a new control structure -- "gather" -- that allows lists
to be constructed procedurally, without the need for a temporary
variable. Within the block/closure controlled by a "gather" any call to
"take" pushes that call's argument list to an implicitly created array.
"take" returns the number of elements it took. This module implements
that control structure.

Syntax::Keyword::Gather implements that functionality for Perl 5.
