If 'require' is the typical way of doing this, and 'requier caller' is a
rare method, then the big problem is not the commit message but the lack
of description in the code as to why we are doing this. It is unlikely
anyone will remember why we made this change, and what version of Perl
it is supposed to fix so we can revert it later perhaps.
