I still feel this adds yet another layer of inconsistency and confusion.
I can't look at a piece of code and know what it does, without referring
up N lines to the top of the scripts.
How is the infinite loop problem any different from other Halting problems?

This is by far the most difficult of these RFCs to decide, so I'm going

If I was forced to write vector code like this I *WILL* give up on perl,
and resort to Numerical
Python or IDL instead.
You can always use the map and foreach like we've
