My question is, would we be better off having the string conversion
routine for arrays worry about the input/output record/field
separators, rather than the IO object? The downside I can see is
that
Here's my comments on Carl Masak's S29 list. Note that some of the
things that say that they're "now in" something still need a lot of work.

I don't know how relevant this is; but this sounds like the sort of
optimization that pure functional programming allows for - that is, if
the compiler ever sees a call like asin(sin($x)), it might optimize
the code by just putting $x in there directly, and bypassing both the
sin and asin calls -
