This smells strangely familiar.  Alot like the .perlrc discussion that
was had back many moons ago.  The havoc a general syntax-altering
policy file could wreck would be enourmous.

To use a Perl 5 example, consider the simple setting of "use strict"
as a general site policy.  Basicaly, most of the Perl code in your
/usr/bin will explode when you try to run it.


Unfortunately, the perl6-language archive doesn't seem to go back far
enough to cover the .perlrc discussion.  Is the old archive still
around?
