Oh.  I think I'd prefer to see chomp() go away and be replaced by
something like this:

        $fh = open "foo" or die;
        $fh->auto_chomp = 1;            # Insert some appropriate syntax
        $fh->newline = "\n";            # Insert some appropriate syntax
        while (<$fh>) {
            ...
        }
        close $fh;
