[ID 20000803.004] strict doesn't complain when sort quotesbareword argument

If a bareword argument is given to sort, strict 'subs' doesn't complain:

$ perl -Mstrict -wle 'print sort foo'
foo
$

Just so you know that the bareword interpretation is being applied:

$ perl -MO=Deparse -wle 'print sort foo'

print sort('foo');

-e syntax OK

Happens on perl 5.6.0 & 5.005_03 on Linux, and Perl 5.004_04 on Solaris 2.5.1.
