Subject: first() should be able to take EXPR as first arg, just like grep() and map()
It would be nice if List::Util::first() can take either a BLOCK or an EXPR as the first argument, just like grep() and map() can, since it's structurally very similar to those functions.

It is not possible. grep and map are builtin keywords to perl. during parsing perl detects the expressions and turns them into blocks first() itself is a subroutine and so the first arg has to be a code reference Graham.
