Well, my attributes.pm here is 2212 bytes, I wouldn't call that bloat :)
In fact, you always have the actual (ie. C level) implementation of attributes,
as it's part of the perl shared library. As for bloat, have you seen what M::SD
will add to your executable when it spots just a whiff of unicode,
eg. "use warnings" will pull in the complete .../lib/unicore tree.
But as I said, I think it's reasonable to include attributes.pm when
threads::shared is in use, and I added the corresponding one-liner to M::SD.
with Eric. pp is a developer tool and as such should rather assume too
much from the user than possibly cripple functionality (through bloat).
Skim over recent posts to this list and you'll discover that pp is not regarded
as a developer tool, but rather as a convenience thing. People just
use it without
having to think much about it (like perl itself) - which IMHO is good.
Cheers, Roderich
