So, there I am writing an autoloader to do some delegation and I want
it to be stack transparent, so I try:

   ...
   local $_[0] = $_[0]->{responder};
   goto &{$_[0]->can($method)}
   ...

And guess what appears to happen. The goto throws away the calling
stack frame, which means that the value of $_[0] that got localized
there gets thrown away too, which means it doesn't bloody work.

How very annoying. Ah well, all part of life's rich pattern. Thanks
for listening.
