Ovid, I like the concept of Data::Dumper::Simple, but from an interface
standpoint, it was a little confusing.  This is how I use Data::Dumper:

use Data::Dumper;

                                                                               my
$foo
=
42;
print Dumper $foo;

...but Data::Dumper::Simple doesn't work the same way.  In order to use
it, I have to do this:

use Data::Dumper::Simple;

my $foo = 42;
warn Dumper( $foo );

It's a small difference, I know, but it would be really nice to just
substitute one for the other and have my existing print statements work.

Any specific reason for not allowing the print Dumper?
