As the RFC notes:

  =head2 Incompatibility with strict

  By its very nature, this is incompatible with C<strict>.
  Specifying both C<use strict> and <use scope> should

I whole-heartedly agree. This was designed to make easy things easier
for small to medium projects. It is not designed to supplant "use
strict". Computers aren't smart enough for that. :-)
