This sort of argument is not terrilby useful.

Really, I don't see any big problem with the notion of the values of void
expressions being sent somewhere, as long as it's lexically scoped, and
doesn't rely on a global default filehandle.  This kind of default
output has always been a selling point of REXX, actually.

Let me reiterate my view of pragmas.  They can warp the language any
way you please, as long as they don't impact other modules.  I wouldn't
even mind if someone wrote a pragma that lets you program Perl in Latin.
