May I infer from the fact that typeglobs are going away that
we will no longer be able to use in our code such lovely global
variables as @31415, %42, the filehandle */, etc?  I assume that
the availability of such was merely an unintended side-effect of the
special like-named scalars and the conflation of names in typeglobs,
though I find it odd that nobody ever made a special case to disallow
them in Perl5.  Of course, most global magic variables are going away,
anyway, but I think $n for regexes is remaining, right?
