My first reaction was "that's fine for users, but not for code". Who wants to load all of M::C just to check that? My second reaction is shock that we're using M::C for that at all, since it's not actually a module. >> * Is it possible to make any of this pluggable, so a program could >> specify which version of Unicode classes they want to use? > > How do you scope that? Specially with things like qr//. I was thinking globally for the interpreter. "Run 5.16, but still use the Unicode 5.X char classes". But as Karl points out, it's a no-go. It's another exception in the idea that "use v5.14" means you should get Perl v5.14 semantics when running later Perls.
