yes, it is shorter :)

base.pm has caused a problem or two for me in the past, but i don't recall
the specifics. it is slower than the old way and creates some bloat by
calling $pkg->isa($base), which in turn creates *$pkg::::ISA::CACHE::
so i prefer to avoid it in general. for build modules it probably doesn't
matter, but habit/practice tends to keep me away from base.pm
