Discussion
Vickenty Fesunov [24]asked (Try::Tiny::XS) for a review of his
implementation of [25]Try::Tiny in XS.
David Mertens [26]mentioned eval_pv would be useful if it evaluated code
under the package in which the keyword is actively parsing. [27]Response
from Father Chrysostomos how it works during compile-time and how to
control the package under which the code is evaluated.
