probably. As opposed to me remembering to do the map bit, with the
braces and all, I erase that from my mind and just remember
merge_hashref.

For the same reason as File::Slurp. Everyone knows how to open a file
and read it in, as it only takes a few lines, but it is so much easier
to do

use File::Slurp;

my $foo = read_file($filename);

Oh, leave me alone! Just cause you are taller than me...
