Uh, but then you went and added specific support for the prsence of $m

  =item use_strict


But IMO, it should be executed before the %once block, e.g., so I can 
set "use utf8;\n" as the preamble and be assured that everything in the 
rest of every component will be utf8.

So maybe we actually need some other parameter for this, like pre-once 
or something?

David
