in thread A most obscure bug
The automatic implied defined()
was added after my time as pumpking. When I discovered
the danger of while (<>) {}, I didn't feel I
could change the language without breaking things,
so I added a warning instead.
That warning was unsatisfactory to a lot of people, so
the issue came up again, this time during one of Larry's
more available periods. Somebody proposed the language
change we have today, Larry OK'd it, and the patch was
installed almost immediately.
