No, we don't. Since the proposed functionality is to enable perl 5's level
of warnings and strictness unless we know otherwise (i.e. none), there's
not much point. If one puts the module keyword in a one-liner, one deserves
the behaviour one gets. And if you *want* strictness and/or warnings on,
the current M flag will work just dandy for you, as it does with perl 5.
