* Updates to dual-life modules should consist of minimal patches to fix
crashing or security issues (as above).

$ perl -MB -MSafe -E 'Safe->new; say B::svref_2object(\*{"+"})->NAME;'

Can't locate loadable object for module main::Tie::Hash::NamedCapture in
@INC (@INC contains: ...) at -e line 1
Compilation failed in require at -e line 1.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted.

patch for Safe.pm fix crashing. (?)
