  Description     : Fix as much of Perl 5 as possible in one pragma

Perl 5 has a lot of warts. There's a lot of individual modules and
techniques out there to fix those warts. perl5i aims to pull the best
of them together into one module so you can turn them on all at once.

This includes adding features, changing existing core functions and
changing defaults. It will likely not be 100% backwards compatible with
Perl 5, though it will be 99%, perl5i will try to have a lexical effect.

Please add to this imaginary world and help make it real,
either by telling me what Perl looks like in your imagination
(http://github.com/schwern/perl5i/issues) or make a fork (forking on
github is like a branch you control) and implement it yourself.
