FWIW, I find this confusing as well, yet this is how things work today:
$ blead -E '
print charnames::viacode(0x41), "\n";
package foo {
use charnames();
}'
LATIN CAPITAL LETTER A
Loading charnames in a different scope, even package, enables use of the
functions at a distance.
Does this fact change anyone's opinion?
