Thanks all for the comments (here and IRC).
Next (meta)-question: Should this be turned into a full RFC, or is it
small and concise enough that these questions and any subsequent
discussion on a PR would be sufficient?
In the hope it's the latter, I've now opened a PR for merging it:
https://github.com/Perl/perl5/pull/19895
but if people think this should go via the full RFC process first, I
can write something up.
