> you might accidentally define _frobnicate in the child class ... and kaboom! for completeness, we might not get a "Subroutine _frobnicate redefined at" warning but it is possible to dynamically inspect a parent class with ->can from UNIVERSAL So it's not that the "sub-class"-developer is completely in the dark. It should even be possible to check this automatically. (which is the saner approach since people don't tend to read the docs after a parent class got extended)
