I don't mind the existence of a "Sub::Util::arity_of" or something.  (I'm not sure what return would be best, since it needs to handle:
 * undeclared
 * fixed number
 * n or more
 * n or more, but even/odd)
What I don't want is to change the behavior we have out of the box, or to further delay shipping this based on something that can be added in the future.

I mean, I read p5p, which got all the previous messages, too. 😉  I will only yell if you spill my beer.
