  - shift is a ONE_SCALAR_PARA so that $box->pack_start(shift @l, 0, 0, 4) is parsed correctly
  - in arrange_global_vars_declared(), don't keep anything in global_vars_declared, better
    create shadow packages to contain them
  - much better merging of multiple files defining functions in the same package.

    with things in ugtk2.pm)

  - enhance non_scalar case for some operators using is_not_a_scalar
  - handle "keys %pkg::" (twas broken because keys() is now a ONE_SCALAR_PARA)
  - keys() is a ONE_SCALAR_PARA
  - correctly (in Perl way) handle priority for some special unary functions (length, exists, ref)
  - warn xxx == "ia64", xxx eq 2
  - 0.2 is a NUM, not a REVISION (otherwise it gets into a Raw_string)
  - better error message ("please remove the space before the function call"
    instead of "can't handle this nicely")
