The proposed 'use cgi;' pragma is concerned with gluing Perl into a cgi
context. No more, no less. That's why %CGI and taint are important
(and the http headers from Nate's RFC), and everything else is more
heavyweight and placed elsewhere (e.g. CGI.pm, CGI::*.pm).
I'm open to suggestions if the nominclature/distinction is too confusing.
