Revisiting smart match

We haven't resolved smart match yet and I think it just might be time,
long enough before 5.28, to revisit this topic and reach a decision.
I reviewed the last thread on this and here is my succinct summary. It
is based on Tony's branch:
* RHS overloading should stay
* LHS overloading breaks a faulty autodie API
* That faulty API currently issues an experimental warning anyway, so
any usage of it is experimental as well
* A proper API for autodie is possible and will still remain
* autodie would need to change its documentation to not recommend this usage
* Deprecation is possible
Bring the paint and let's meet at the shed. :)
Sawyer.
