+=head2 Tie functions on scalars holding typeglobs
+
+Calling a tie function (C<tie>, C<tied>, C<untie>) with a scalar argument
+acts on a file handle if the scalar happens to hold a typeglob.
+
+This is a long-standing bug that will be removed in Perl 5.16, as
+there is currently no way to tie the scalar itself when it holds
+a typeglob, and no way to untie a scalar that has had a typeglob
+assigned to it.
+
+This bug was fixed in 5.13.7 but, because of the breakage it caused, the
+fix has been reverted. Now there is a deprecation warning whenever a tie
+function is used on a handle without an explicit C<*>.
