As I explained before, the difference is that the 'unimport' method for
re.pm does not unimport subroutines, because that's impractical.

I believe the question was about implementation of 'no' itself, but for use
cases, there are also several pragmas that are useful via 'no' even if they
weren't already activated with 'use', usually because it reads better that
way, for example:

no autovivification;
no bareword::filehandles;

So one could conceive of a case where you'd want to conditionally
"activate" one of these pragmas.
