Is Perl 6's uncuddled else a special case for statement separation?

Viewed 280

From the syntax doc:

A closing curly brace followed by a newline character implies a statement separator, which is why you don't need to write a semicolon after an if statement block.

if True {
    say "Hello";
}
say "world";

That's fine and what was going on with Why is this Perl 6 feed operator a “bogus statement”?.

However, how does this rule work for an uncuddled else? Is this a special case?

if True {
    say "Hello";
}
else {
    say "Something else";
}
say "world";

Or, how about the with-orwith example:

my $s = "abc";
with   $s.index("a") { say "Found a at $_" }
orwith $s.index("b") { say "Found b at $_" }
orwith $s.index("c") { say "Found c at $_" }
else                 { say "Didn't find a, b or c" }
