in thread aliasing arrays using typeglob under strict

and for creating global symbols (with the creation points buried in functions) to lie in wait to ambush your sanity during your next 3 AM debug session.

There is no risk if the globals are localised; and the syntax advantages are clear.

Not using a feature because it involves the temporary use of localise (effectively lexical*) "global variables" is unfounded paranoia.

(*Nothing associated with this usage persists beyond the lexical scope in which the aliasing is performed.)
