I don't think that you should require a use. That is too violent a
change. Moving things that were in the core of Perl5 out should be
invisible to the user.
I strenuosly object to having to add use, for every stupid module.
Anything that is part of the shipped perl should not need a use.
The entire set of constants and namespace should be immediately
avaiable.
The only possible use for a use for core functions would be to pass
options or perhaps to select a non-default version.
Modules that are from CPAN or local should be able to be promoted to
autoloadable by some simple mechanism.
