    Thank you. ^_*'  It's an honor to have your praise.

    They should both mean the same thing.  It's my own habit.  I know it
conflicts with most practice here, and I know the principle here is "the
shorter, the clearer".  It's just a current personal choice, perhaps. 
It's weird to see a single 1 left alone for me.  A "return" reminds me
what this line is for, so that I will not delete it accidently.  I may
change my choice in the future. ^^;

    Well, I don't like "no strict 'refs';", either.  It was originally
that way, using "no strict qw(refs);" only when required.  But this
interferes with me when Locale::Maketext::Gettext is under development. 
I may insert a ${"$class\::Lexicon"} here and a ${"$class\::Lexicon"}
there, and forgot to put a "no use qw(refs);" before them.  It's
troublesome to trace these errors.  The truth is: Locale::Maketext uses
class varibles all around.  In order to work with Locale::Maketext I
need "no use qw(refs);" everywhere.  Then, why don't I face the fact,
that it is required by the design of this whole class, but not by those
single lines?  I like to be strictest, but I can accept the reality, too.
