PEVANS Grant Report December 2025

A mix of focus this month. I was hoping to get `attributes-v2` towards
something that could be reviewed and merged, but then I bumped into a
bunch of refalias-related issues. Also spent about 5 hours reviewing
Dave's giant xspod rewrite.

 1 = Rename `THING` token in grammar to something more meaningful
     https://github.com/Perl/perl5/pull/23982

 4 = Continue work on `attributes-v2`

 1 = BBC Ticket on Feature-Compat-Class
     https://github.com/Perl/perl5/issues/23991

 2 = Experiment with refalias parameters with defaults in
     XS-Parse-Sublike

 1 = Managing the PPC documents and overall process

 2 = Investigations into the `refalias` and `declared_refs` features,
     to see if we can un-experiment them

 2 = Add a warning to `refalias` that breaks closures
     https://github.com/Perl/perl5/pull/24026 (work-in-progress)

 3 = Restore refaliased variables after foreach loop
     https://github.com/Perl/perl5/issues/24028
     https://github.com/Perl/perl5/pull/24029

 3 = Clear pad after multivariable foreach
     https://github.com/Perl/perl5/pull/24034 (not yet merged)

 6 = Github code reviews (mostly on Dave's xspod)
     https://github.com/Perl/perl5/pull/23795

Total: 25 hours
