Yes, I like the idea of master use-based pragmas, which could even be adjusted per version. In an alternate timeline, it would be cool if they had kept the feature-bundle separate from the anality-level. Something like:

use v5.32 :style qw/module bnf-grammar/;

... (where 'module' style might imply strict, warnings, no-indirect, etc. and bnf-grammar implies 'guac perl') ... would not offend me at all.

    Yes but beginners need a simple way to have a simple Perl for fast entry and least surprise.

    And I don't mind if "simple" is taken as "dumb".

    Hence use v7

    Easy things easy and complicated things possible.
