NAME
    builtins::compat - install all the new builtins from the builtin namespace
    (Perl 5.36+), and try our best on older versions of Perl

SYNOPSIS
      use 5.008001;          # Or later
      use builtins::compat;  # Loads all new builtins into lexical scope
  
      # So now we can write...
      if (reftype($x) eq 'ARRAY' || blessed($x) {
          print refaddr($x), "\n";
          if (is_weak($x)) {
              unweaken($x);
              print ceil( refaddr(($x)) / floor($y) ), "\n";
              weaken($x);
              print trim($description), "\n";
          }
      }

DESCRIPTION
    This module does the same as builtins on Perl 5.36 and above. On older
    versions of Perl, it tries to implement the same functions and then clean
    them from your namespace using namespace::clean.

    The pre-5.36 versions of `created_as_number`, `created_as_string`, and
    `is_bool` may not be 100% perfect implementations.
