This blog post was spawned by this thread, and some very good thing people
introduced into the discussion.
Part 1 is up on cpan (Importer.pm).
I do not have a formal patch made from Part2, but the commit is on my
github clone of the perl repo. I am mainly posting this here to gauge
opinion and seek feedback.
