> I love this proposal. I think I would use it too much at first, and the pull it back to using it a reasonable amount :)

I can think of a bunch of things over the years where I did exactly that on first discovering it.

A small warning though: I write a lot of perl, and while I care a lot about readability for the next developer, plenty of people fail at the "pull it back" phase so it's definitely a trade-off.
