Thanks, at least someone beside Hauke who is not trying to convince me that the issue doesn't exist at all. \o/

Well ... catching errors would be an issue, don't you think?

But like always with old errors, I wouldn't surprised if they became "features".

After changing, some CPAN modules might break because they did something like

sub func {
    $_[0] //= { the_default => "values" };
    ...
}
[download]

which is a broken approach to default values ...
