Re: [PATCH] Remove implicit split to @_

This is an amusing discussion.

The only problem that I observe with scalar split writing to @_ implicitly
is that it's an easy thing to do by accident and is almost never useful.
Therefore, removing it seems a public service.

I favor simply making it a compile-time error to use split in scalar
context.  No problem with silently changing semantics and no more surprising
behavior.  Everybody's happy.  (right?)
