You're not a Sapir-Whorfist then? ;-)

Actually, I wasn't proposing we design it at all.
Sarathy has already done rather a good job of that, I think.

Tom's opcode dumping functionality could, in principle, be added to
Data::Dumper as it stands.

My proposal was merely that C<&Data::Dumper::Dumper> body-snatch C<dump>.
