Ah, wordsmithing (Score:1)
“C<List::Util> contains a selection of subroutines that people have wanted in the Perl core, but whose usage and size wouldn’t justify a keyword or an individual extension.”
This strays quite a bit from the original wording, but conserves all its meaning while being shorter and much simpler.
“The following additions have been requested but are so simple to implement in Perl that I have been reluctant to add them.”
This the exactly same as the original, except that I switched two clauses and thereby got rid of all the awkward constructions.
