I originally starting writing this as a bit of a joke, then I thought
perhaps I should submit it as a serious suggestion. Anyone violently
against or in favour? Is this even an issue that should go in a PDD?
Does anyone care? Should I return to my box now?

Not a joke, I find this to be a very valuable rule. No comments,
no check-ins.
I would define a relatively strict and standard way to do this so that
the documentation can be extracted out.

Either run pod through a pod puller before the C preprocessor gets to
the code, or
I think "defined" should be altered so that it only looks like a function,
but in effect alters the tests being made by the thing that is looking at it.
if (defined $x){ # slower than if ($x){ # or if($x or defined($x))
could be made faster by propagating the "defined" question up
