Last time I suggested something like $SYS::Some_Var_Here, Larry complained
that the very "SYS::" was too darned long to type. So we got
${^Some_Var_Here}. Perhaps that could be $^Some_Var_Here. Or
$::Some_Var_Here.
If we were selecting dubious features to shoot (and I think we are),
then the fact that $^F and $ are the same is one I'd kill--by zapping
the latter, too.
