Discussion
Curtis (Ovid) Poe [13]asked about rephrasing an error message regarding
subroutine names.
Karl Williamson [14]asked (What to do about qr/(?i-i:foo)/) whether we
should warn when a regular expression has flags that negate and cancel
each other.
Dave Mitchell [15]suggests (changing the format of op tree dumping (-Dx /
Perl_op_dump())) changing the output of op tree dumping on the C-side
to a
more useful output format.
