Yeah, but only recently. I'm a little worried about the value of this
change relative to the amount of code churn involved, and more to the
point I worry about the risk of future back-patches injecting bad code
into back branches that don't use autodie.
(Back-patching the use of autodie doesn't seem feasible, since before
v16 we supported perl 5.8.something.)
