I don't have a problem with your proposal, since (as Rick points out) it can easily be viewed as a superset of mine, and made no harder to implement (assuming we eventually see method calls draw close to subroutine calls in execution speed). > BTW, I didn't see any comments about my second thought, the one > of inspecting compiled regexps.

I didn't feel qualified or entitled to comment on it since I *never* operate at the level of the perl guts; not even in modules -- like Switch -- that may appear to do so.
