[Melbourne-pm] Data::Dumper enhancement

Hi PM,

For years I have used Data::Dumper to help me debug my code, usually with
the syntax:

  print Dumper(blah);

It occurred to me that I could save some keystrokes... so went looking at
Dumper.pm and found that 'wantarray' is being used to determine the calling
context for list vs. scalar. But it isn't being used to detect void
context...

Would saving 6 keystrokes would be a useful enhancement?

cheers,
Mathew Robertson
