I think it is *way* too late in the dev cycle to be proposing this.
Maybe it should be a TODO item - I at least don't have time even to
think about the implications os using these pragmas. The effect of the
first is achievable via an environment setting, I believe.

If you need these badly enough, use plperlu where there are no
restrictions to overcome - the big problem is that 'use anything'
requires that we enable the 'require' op, and that is certainly not
going to happen without a great deal of thought.
