Extend Fatal to support universally overriding print / syswrite / printf etc. such that failures are reported.
This is an interesting idea. Did you have any ideas about how this might be done other than doing something s///-like to the optree?
Match (?:print|syswrite|printf|etc).
Replace it with $1 || carp( "$1 has failed catastrophically: $!" )
or
print
...
entersub
...Is that what you were proposing? Can you think of any way to perform a net-equivalent operation without requiring that the optree be altered?
