also:

    use v5.40;

    if (rand() < 0.5) {
        *thing = sub { 1 };
    }

    say thing();

The set of names referring to subs is not knowable at compile
time.

(other people can explain, much better than I can, the difference
between lexical names (which *are* known at compile time) and
package-scoped/global names (which aren't))
