Point taken. But part of the goal was moving a lot of stuff out of CORE
and making Perl faster. New features are great, but we should figure out
whether or not they're truly CORE-worthy. Sticking it in a pragma like
strict helps to solve this issue, but as always TMTOWTDI.
My suggestion assumed that you'd probably be 'use strict'ing anyways if
you wanted strict sub prototypes, and since 'all' would include
'prototypes', you'd get this automatically.

BTW, I use CORE to mean "perl" and not "perl.tar.gz".
