As opposed to the bug reports or puzzled questions when someone
says `$foo{ __PACKAGE__ } = $bar` and wonders why it didn’t do
what they expected.
I hate that thing. It’s not a variable, it’s not a function, it’s
not any other kind of first-class language object, it’s just some
sort of magic special parser token that behaves like nothing else
in the entire language.
