For completeness’ sake, there is exactly one acceptable use of
`UNIVERSAL::can` as a function:
!!UNIVERSAL::can( $foo, 'can' )
This is a cheap and highly backward compatible replacement for
`Scalar::Util::blessed`.
There may be some esoteric cases where the result of that
expression will be incorrect, but they’re even more bizarre than
the concept of quantum superposition and can probably never
happen without XS mischief.
