So, you're in favor of Perl 6 not having a "use strict;"? Or are you in favor of there being only one true strict? Perhaps I'm misunderstanding what you mean by "person writing the program" and "person writing the libraries." In fact, I've _gotta_ be. I'd like to be able to put my strictures in a library rather than forcing them into the main body of a program. Are you saying you don't want to let people do this?
