Since it's called `yield_true` rather than `ignore_false`, I'd expect that
lexical scope to behave as if it was wrapped in `(...) or builtin::true`,
so the `require Zork;` would work as if it had been `package Zork;
builtin::true`. Similarly for nested scopes: behaving a bit like `perl
-le'print do { { { (undef) or 1 } } }'` with the true value propagating.
Presumably that would enforce scalar context: is that likely to be a
problem?
Similarly:
my $value = do { use feature 'yield_true'; undef }; # we're expecting
$value = builtin::true, yes?
This level of detail seems more appropriate for the RFC stage. Seems
there's enough interest to go beyond pre-RFC here?
