RE: Removing/fixing $[line noise here] variables

[Brust, Corwin]

Could this then also give the programer control over the content of
error/warning messages produced by Perl at runtime? 

Am I way off track here?

For deprecation, we should have a %PERL_DEPRECATED{mod}{thing} hash as
well.  `mod' is `CORE', `FORMATS', etc, as above.  A value of 0 means the
function is actually gone, 1 means it's disappearing next major release,
2 mean next minor, etc.  The programmer can control what happens when
the feature is used by setting a %PERL_DEPRECATED{mod}{warning} value
to 0 for default, 1 for once, 2 for never, etc, etc.
