Some time ago it occurred to me that in a map()'s BLOCK a no (or use, for what that matters) statement "doesn't work", e.g.: 
my %hash=map {
    no strict 'refs';
    $_ => \&{$_};
} qw/sol1 sol2 .../;  # Pseudo-code

I had brought this on clpmisc, at map()'s BLOCK [was: "Re: Q: re Inline and Benchmark"] (also available from Google or from Google-beta) and there were fundamentally two kind of reactions, as you can see by yourself:
  1. in Perl there are already so many deviations from orthogonality, that this is not that surprising after all,
  2. deviations from orthogonality generally serve the purpose of implementing dwimmeries, but one can't see how this could apply to the one under consideration, so it simply "shouldn't" be there...
What do you monks think about this?

Note: I do know that there are tons of other ways around the issue, e.g. with a do block and the EXPR-form of map.
