+=head2 Clearing stashes
+
+Stash list assignment C<%foo:: = ()> used to make the stash anonymous
+temporarily while it was being emptied. Consequently, any of its
+subroutines referenced elsewhere would become anonymous (showing up as
+"(unknown)" in C<caller>). Now they retain their package names, such that
+C<caller> will return the original sub name if there is still a reference
+to its typeglob, or "foo::__ANON__" otherwise.
