Read comp.lang.perl.moderated for a few weeks and look at the XS
questions. In the past month, we've had people needing to know how
to get the caller and how to bless a scalar. And these aren't trivial
things to do currently;
av = pp_caller(aTHX_);
pp_bless(aTHX_ rv, class);
would have been much nicer answers to be able to give.
This reminds us that the other bugger with decoding ops is that quite
a few things are list operators, and hence variadic anyway.
