Nevertheless, I really think it is a bug, since it provokes action at a
distance. Suppose
my $x="something";
$r->pnotes->{x}=$x;
&harmless_looking_function( $a, $b, $x, $y );
If harmless_looking_function() changes $_[2] the outcoming pnote would not be
what you expect.
Hence, IMHO it should be fixed in the code not in the docs. The provided
module (Apache2::SafePnotes) is only a workaround not the solution.
