Thank you for your informative post. Though the point I was trying to make is that Perl has a long story of not-completely-backward-compatible changes and it is not so unreasonable to think of a hypothetic DEBUG specially named code block, although I bet that would ring a bell amongst p5l's developers. All in all I didn't say that was a problem, just reasoning on the issue. This is a meditation after all, isn't it?

OTOH in your list I see 

#define KEY_NULL                0

but that doesn't seem to make its way into Perl. I mean we do not have a NULL specially named block nor special token, have we?

Also I don't see anything about CLONE (I've never used threads myself, BTW) in your excerpt from keywords.h. Maybe it's defined elsewhere...
