in thread RFC: Should join subsume reduce?

I said that “I don’t want to install another module” is self-contradictory when the proposed way to avoid installing a new module involves install a new version of Perl – and self-defeating when the module in question actually is in core already.

I’m not sure how you concluded that this means that new features should not be added to Perl.

    Because you made the same argument in 531861, where you weren't responding to an erroneous objection to having to install modules.
