A busy meeting today, we talked about quite a few things:
* Smartmatch deprecation continues. Some upstream PRs have been
raised, awaiting CPAN releases
* Refaliasing might be able to be deëxperimentalized if we add a
warning on the currently-failing closure capture cases
* RFC0013 highlights a deficiency in the `overload.pm` API shape.
Perhaps an opt-in new calling convention is required to make it more
flexible
- Paul will write another post to the mailing list with more detail
* Mithaldu's objection to the suggestion to deprecate `map EXPR, LIST`
suggests that maybe a more powerful debugger "run until next
statement" command would be good
* The interaction of `List::Keywords` + `autovivification` highlights
the overall problem with highly-pluggable extensible systems -
sometimes extensions conflict. We just have to keep this in mind and
not have too high expectations that "everything will be fine if we
load 20 different plugins"
* That said, maybe there are some CPAN extensions that ought to be
part of the core language - `autovivification` for example
* We've run out of devel release volunteers now. We need some people
to volunteer for 5.37.9, .10, .11, (maybe .12?). Also maybe 5.38.0
