Its my maintainence hat on.
Picture some poor shmo, the regular guy is off on his two week vacation,
in some out the way place without his cell phone. And a production problem,
or the million dollar client, needs this yesterday.
And he doesn't notice the use printvoidvalues.
So the previous occupant was real careful never to use grep in void context,
and sprinkled (void) all over the perl code.
But there he will be having strange output show up from nowhere.
Yes, its fixable, yes, he should know what he is doing, yes, its the
same issue with all pragmas.
But this effect bothers me.
I'll slink off now.
