PSC #179 2025-02-14

Back to the full roster, albeit with Philippe attending from on the road.

We mainly went over the list of PPCs, with an eye toward the fact that
this release cycle is coming to a close.

* PPC0033 (ampersand method calls) is approved.
* PPC0030 (equ) does not have an implementation ready for this release
  cycle and PPC0031 (eq:u) is controversial.
* PPC0027 (any/all) is basically accepted other than needing its feature
  flag naming figured out.

As an aside regarding PPC0027, we reiterated that we would like
`use feature ':all'` to go away if possible. It was never a good idea
anyway, but has become untenable with the introduction of feature flags
like `indirect` and `bareword_filehandles`, which we expect to have many
more of in the future. Since their purpose is to be disabled rather than
enabled by default, a simple toggling of all features (on or off) is
a nonsensical request.
