There's a big difference between 'turn on this feature' and 'turn off this mis-feature' type lexical pragmas and 'swap this syntax for that syntax' pragmas. Much like "use dots", the lexical change you describe would offer yet another dialect of Perl 5, and I think that's a bigger Perl 5 language design decision that needs to be made independent of any particular feature.
