+expressed would be nice to have in the perl core, but the usage would not
+really be high enough to warrant the use of a keyword, and the size so

+
+After unpacking the distribution, to install this module type
+
+ perl Makefile.PL
+ make
+ make test
+ make install

+This distribution provides

+ reftype
+ blessed
+ weaken (5.005_57 and later only)
