It already does "use feature '5.011';". And it was hard to add even "use strict" - too much opposition. "use warnings" would have even more.

Strongly disagree with IO::Handle and warnings. Strictures are important, warnings are not (note that I almost always enable them).
Would like no indirect, but I doubt it’ll happen.
Not opposed to C3, but indifferent.

  What's wrong with IO::Handle? 5.6 could have supported calling methods on lexical filehandles without loading IO::Handle explicitly without violating the Principle of Least Surprise. (I could argue that having an object you can't actually call methods on violates PoLS.)

I've been doing this for years in code without any problems, so I think it's a good candidate if strictures are going to be enabled.
