Seems to me that discouraging package subs in favor of lexical subs is
okay, provided it isn't more than about one letter harder. :-)
More problematic is
$subref = Dog sub { ... }
But this may resolve itself if such types have to be predeclared. Or
maybe you just have to write that
$subref = my Dog sub { ... }
Though that would seem to imply that you could say
$intref = my int \0;
which is bizarre.
