While you are at it, I just noticed this entry under BUGS AND PITFALLS
in overload.pm:
=item *
No warning is issued for invalid C<use overload> keys.
Such errors are not always obvious:
use overload "+0" => sub { ...; }, # should be "0+"
"not" => sub { ...; }; # should be "!"
(Bug #74098)
That’s not true any more. Should this be patched, too, or is it getting
a bit late?
