The assumption I remember from the design meetings was always "No library
designer has the knowledge or the right to tell me how fast or strict my
program has to run." Whatever B&D you do in the privacy of your own modules
is fine, but if it leaks out past encapsulation boundaries, expect that
somewhere you might offend community standards.
In my opinion,Perl 6 should spell "no bondage":
#!/usr/bin/perl6
-- c
