No.  There's no point in duplicating the existing functionality, and I
think the abstraction forces the decision the other way.  Unfortunately,
what I think happens to be the way things usually go around here.  :-)

: or its another weirdness to remember about perl.

Mostly it's another weirdness that people will never learn until they
want to.  Just doc it under delete and exists, and leave it at that.
