You're right... and deep-down I knew it was a bad idea.

I put a fake entry in %INC, as Darren has guessed, so there's no
capture.pm file. Or rather: we ignore the possibility of somebody
writing capture.pm. :-)
Since it has compile-time effects, this needs to be "use something"
instead of a function call -- and I wanted it to be something lowercase
to match 'strict', 'integer', etc.

Quite a bit more explicit, actually. Just "Capture" misses the point.
Thanks!
