It is completely undocumented. The POSIX(3pm) manpage says nothing of
this. It just contains some set of examples that use a legal but
usually mistaken way to use a PERL constant. Usually mistaken, because
using the ampersand forces an actual subroutine call (according to
persub(3pm)), while the very point of using constant functions is to
have them inlined during compilation.

There isn't one such argument and omissions in module documentation
don't make one. But - please - no discussion about the benefits of
rerunning code checkers on unchanged code for the purpose of
preventing CPU rust.
