Yes, a test is failing because the optree has changed somewhat and the
Deparse code I nicked doesn't know about that. I assume that Deparse
itself has been updated so I just need to nick the updated code.
(There's that word again - "just".)
Of course the real solution is to refactor Deparse so I don't need to
nick its code, I can just call it. I don't have time for that. I'm not
sure whether I have time to fix up Devel::Cover properly before Dave
gets 5.10.1 out of the door, but I'll make sure that there's a
Devel::Cover available that doesn't fail its tests before that happens,
one way or another.
The failure mode is that "$a && $b" is displayed as "do { $b if $a }",
or something very similar.
