Re: RFC: Export tags for builtin pragma

The problem with tags like this is that adding anything to them later is essentially a compatibility break. I'd say they are pretty unlikely to be added.

With Perl 5.40, when they start being stabilized, it will be possible to import all of the stable builtins using a version tag, similar to features.

G'day Haarg, ++ Thanks for your opinion. "I'd say they are pretty unlikely to be added." I'll see what others have to say; however, on the basis of "nothing ventured, nothing gained", I may still test the waters. [large unlikelihood = small likelihood :-) ] — Ken	[reply]

I'd rather just see them imported as part of "use v5.40". Any reason not to just import them all? Most of these have been occupying our module namespace for decades anyway.	[reply]
