I don't have really strong feelings here, but the general reaction on p5p over
the years to "some core library changes $! needlessly" is:  $! is only reliable
(a) *immediately* after a routine that uses $! to communicate and (b) if that
routine returns in error.  In some rare cases it's worth maintaining that.
Mostly, we say "too bad."
