Ah, this is coming from our Test/Harness.pm.  I guess that is
"compatible" then.

I think making it the default in TAP::Harness would be the opposite 
of "fix it".  We have lexical warnings now, which would presumably be 
the reason that it is no longer the default in prove.  If it is an 
accident, then it is a happy one.

Aside:  Module::Build also blew it away (mistakenly or no.)
