Almost certainly sure the answer is "because nobody got around to it".
I'll have a look into it once I've finished `try/catch`.
I suspect at minimum we'd want all of:
(Scalar::Util::)blessed
refaddr
reftype
weaken
unweaken
isweak
I'm less convinced about the dualvar stuff, and honestly anything else
documented under its "OTHER FUNCTIONS" heading.
As to the list things, I'm also intending to have some optree-shaped
stuff that can do
List::Util::any
all
none
notall
first
reduce
Maybe also
List::Util::head
tail
and further down the list things start to get a bit less exciting.
But overall - yes, it'd be nice to get more of those
{Scalar,List}::Util things into core as well. It just needs someone to
do it. Why it hasn't been done is much like why nobody's added
try/catch until now - nobody asked.
