I really do not like the idea that we're all but blessing a way to circumvent
ref(). Its a totally unnecessary complication. There's no use case. I've
never thought to myself "gee, it would be great if this reference didn't look
like a reference".
Furterhmore if, for some mad reason, I did want that there's always
BEGIN {
*CORE::GLOBAL::ref = sub {
my $ref = CORE::ref($_[0]);
return $ref eq 'Sekret::Class' ? "" : $ref
};
}
We already have enough ways to do this particular trick.
