Perl 6.0 is going to include even more drastic changes. It will also
include a Perl 5.x interpreter, and will have to be switched to 6.0
mode by a magic cookie of some kind in the source. Possibly Python 3.0
could do something similar. Use the same byte code engine, and a
compiler switch that enables the gotchas. Or maybe
"from __past__ import gotchas"
