Is 5.26.0 the release that we get a final decision on smartmatch?  Tony Cook's
branch was looking pretty good last time I played with it, and I was especially
enthused about the ~~x and x~~ overloads, which seemed almost indispensible in
hindsight.

Now that I'm writing code targeting the latest perl, I feel like I could
actually use ~~ if it got fixed.  So I'm curious whether there's any resolve
now to (A) fix it (B) kill it (C) mark it off as a dangerous area never to be
discussed again.
