This behavior should be changed. If the PATTERN is empty, Perl should
look for the empty string. (That is, if the PATTERN is empty, it

Except perhaps for undef loperands? (matchees? bindees?)
What did you
I propose that this 'last successful match' behavior be discarded
entirely, and that an empty pattern always match the empty string.
I don't see a consideration for simply s/successful// above, which
has also been talked about. Thas would also match expected usage
based upon existing editors.
