NEEDED_BUT_UNMADE_CHANGES

This document sits aside the perlfaq files as a scratchpad for things that should change, but for some reason haven't. Please use this syntax (and leave the committer annotation to subversion):

<severity>perlfaq<number> - <comment>

Severity

        ! - important change needed soon 
        ? - something that might need work, but not sure
        . - change this at some point, but no big deal

        & - needs a code change
        " - needs a prose change

        \ - backwards compatibility change (e.g. for 5.6)
        / - forwards compatibility change (e.g. for 5.10)

        # - resolved, but keep in list anyway just in case

        - - candidate for deletion
        + - candidate for addition

For example:

Important change to text:

!"perlfaq5 - The question says foo, but should say bar

Is that code right:

?&perlfaq4 - Does that really calculate foo?
        

Delete this question:

-perlfaq3 - Question "How do I foo?" no longer needed with Perl5

Add this question

+perlfaq1 - Add "Why doesn't anyone ever listen to me?"
