So what you're saying is that as a Perl 5 author, I have to guess what
features 7 is going to turn on so I can preëmptively opt out of them
before it comes?
What is Perl 8 going to turn on, or 9 ...?
This situation is surely ridiculous. I should not have to be predicting
what future versions will do that will be incompatible with my code so
I can ask them not to do it. Perl - any version of - shouldn't be doing
things I didn't explicitly ask it to do.
