since its too late to s/send/save-and-review/;
I apologize for the over-statement.

s/just might be useful/ coexists with documented behavior/;

ie, in           use base qw(Foo Bar);

the import list is always scalars, usually barewords,
so finding refs in that list is at very least unexpected.

More to the point, its undefined, and could thus be considered fair-game 
for
some use.  Whether this use is good enough to grab such an idiom is
another question entirely.


thanks,
