It came up on IRC that 8756617677dbda9a9ac19ac3155ca3bbabbf75a8 (I think) broke
the pointless-but-existing code:
*CORE::exit = sub { ... }
Sure, people who say this probably forgot a :GLOBAL: in there. The comment
doesn't make it clear that this was an intentional side-effect, though.
If it is, we should make a perldelta note that if you see this happen, it's
because we found your bug for you. If it isn't, we should decide whether we
think there are other scary side-effects lurking.
I haven't really looked into it. I said I'd drop the list an email, though,
and so I am doing so before collapsing into sleep. Good night!
