I've just pushed these patches to blead.

If anyone feels strongly about them revert them or fix them.

But one thing I'm not going to be doing in the future is asking for
documentation comments like these on p5p unless I'm really interested
in the finer details of how various people feel when they use
different synonymous built-in operators.

The text in this thread is probably several times over the amount of
text we have covering for and foreach. Imagine if we were able to
channel all the effort we now spend on talking about how strongly we
fell about some part of the docs into actually improving them.
