A mix of focus this month. I was hoping to get `attributes-v2` towards
something that could be reviewed and merged, but then I bumped into a
bunch of `refalias`-related issues. Also spent about 5 hours reviewing
Dave's giant xspod rewrite.
* 1 = Rename `THING` token in grammar to something more meaningful
* https://github.com/Perl/perl5/pull/23982
* 4 = Continue work on `attributes-v2`
* 1 = BBC Ticket on Feature-Compat-Class
* https://github.com/Perl/perl5/issues/23991
* 2 = Experiment with `refalias` parameters with defaults in XS-Parse-Sublike
* 1 = Managing the PPC documents and overall process
* 2 = Investigations into the `refalias` and `declared_refs` features, to see if we can un-experiment them
* 2 = Add a warning to `refalias` that breaks closures
* https://github.com/Perl/perl5/pull/24026 (work-in-progress)
* 3 = Restore refaliased variables after foreach loop
* https://github.com/Perl/perl5/issues/24028
* https://github.com/Perl/perl5/pull/24029
* 3 = Clear pad after multivariable foreach
* https://github.com/Perl/perl5/pull/24034 (not yet merged)
* 6 = Github code reviews (mostly on Dave's xspod)
* https://github.com/Perl/perl5/pull/23795
Total: 25 hours
