Yet, I personally would prefer it if strict 'refs' is always on by
default. Would this hinder one-liners? How many one-lliners do you write
that depend on symbolic references? None, I hope.

Yet, this next code snippet is evil:

	$data{b} = 'foo';
	for(qw'a b') {
	    push @{$data{$_}}, 'test';
	}

And this shows why:

	use Data::Dumper;
	print Dumper \%data, \@foo;
-->
Name "main::foo" used only once: possible typo at test.pl line 8.
$VAR1 = {
          'a' => [
                   'test'
                 ],
          'b' => 'foo'
        };
$VAR2 = [
          'test'
        ];


I'd like this kind of behaviour to be inhibited, even for one-liners.
