Such magic is hard to debug and easily leads to bugs in user code.
you post this without recognizing that Perl and Ruby already have this
for many

I think Johannes recognises that, but considers it a poor design choice

Perl has a reputation as a rather cryptic, "write only" language, best
suited to short, throw-away scripts, and cryptically named magic
variables like this are a big part of that.
