That was my thought - so many better ways to use __call (like sub?).
And ultimately, it's a global modification. I used to think this was
harmless, but eventually even simple error messages on string types
start to get confusing. Now, if we could do this kind of hack _per
environment_ (however that be defined) then we're cooking; a person's
experiments remain private idiosyncrasies.
So I guess my sense of humour didn't boot up fast enough ;)
