It dies if ever executed, IIRC. Would you want:
sub get_user_list() {...}
my @users = get_user_list;
To merely warn? I think die "get_user_list not implemented" is more
appropriate there.
I can see something like:
sub term:<etc.> { warn "You should probably put something here" }
Being useful, but not that useful.
