Thank you.  I have applied the first three patches:

$ git log --oneline -3
8ce2ba8 Fix "...without parentheses is ambuguous" warning for UTF-8 function nam
6e59c86 Allow unquoted UTF-8 HERE-document terminators
b3089e9 [perl #124113] Make check for multi-dimensional arrays be UTF8-aware

I don’t like the fact that the fourth one lacks tests, even though I believe it corrects the behaviour.  Also, what it addresses is not a regression of any sort, so it needs to wait until after 5.22 since we are in code freeze.
