   =head2 What's wrong with using grep or map in a void context?
   
  -Both grep and map build a return list, regardless of their context.
  -This means you're making Perl go to the trouble of building up a
  -return list that you then just ignore.  That's no way to treat a
  -programming language, you insensitive scoundrel!
  +The problem is that both grep and map build a return list,
  +regardless of the context.  This means you're making Perl go
  +to the trouble of building a list that you then just throw away.
  +If the list is large, you waste both time and space.  If your
  +intent is to iterate over the list then use a for loop for this
  +purpose.
