I can document the issues, without requiring any changes. Thinking
about it over the weekend, the new situation of
the case of
for(1..3) { print }
not being caught might be a feature, not a bug. It's not
*exactly* the global anymore, after all.
Here are things that have not been talked about, to my
knowledge:
1) What should English call $^U and $^V?
2) Why are we naming @+ as @LAST_PAREN_MATCH? What should
@- be called? Please explain the typeglob imports,
since my simplistic tests show these no longer to be
necessary.
