In

the .DIR;1 onto a fileified directory spec was removed when
operating under Extended Filename Syntax. Various scary comments
were added about its being a bug to add a type and version onto
a Unix-style path, but actually the CRTL appears to be perfectly
happy with, for example:
stat('/foo/bar/baz.dir;1');
and without the extension, the home-grown rmdir() fails in the
case of a directory with no preceding path information. E.g.,
rmdir('foo');
was failing because there was no internal translation to foo.dir
before passing it to SYS$ERASE.
Moreover, even if there were something wrong with adding .DIR;1,
it has nothing to do with EFS.

[perl #77388] Make stacked -t work
Up till now, -t was popping too much off the stack when stacked with
other filetest operators.
Since the special use of _ doesn’t apply to -t, we cannot simply have
it use _ when stacked, but instead we pass the argument down from the
previous op.
To facilitate this, the whole stacked mechanism has to change.
As before, in an expression like -r -w -x, -x and -w are flagged
as ‘stacking’ ops (followed by another filetest), and -w and -r are
flagged as stacked (preceded by another filetest).
Stacking filetest ops no longer return a false value to the next op
when a test fails, and stacked ops no longer check the truth of the
value on the stack to determine whether to return early (if it’s
false).
The argument to the first filetest is now passed from one op to
another. This is similar to the mechanism that overloaded objects
were already using. Now it applies to any argument.
Since it could be false, we cannot rely on the boolean value of the
stack item. So, stacking ops, when they return false, now traverse
the ->op_next pointers and find the op after the last stacked op.
That op is returned to the runloop. This short-circuiting is proba-
bly faster than calling every subsequent op (a separate function call
for each).
Filetest ops other than -t continue to use the last stat buffer when
stacked, so the argument on the stack is ignored.
But if the op is preceded by nothing other than -t (where preceded
means on the right, since the ops are evaluated right-to-left), it
*does* use the argument on the stack, since -t has not set the last
stat buffer.
The new OPpFT_AFTER_t flag indicates that a stacked op is preceded by
nothing other than -t.
In ‘-e -t foo’, the -e gets the flag, but not in ‘-e -t -r foo’,
because -r will have saved the stat buffer, so -e can just use that.

[rt.cpan.org #74289] Don’t make *CORE::foo read-only
newATTRSUB requires the sub name to be passed to it wrapped up in
a const op.
Commit
8756617677dbd allowed it to accept a GV that way, since
S_maybe_add_coresub (in gv.c) needed to pass it an existing GV not in
the symbol table yet (to simplify code elsewhere).
This had the inadvertent side-effect of making the GV read-only, since
that’s what the check function for const ops does.
Even if we were to call this a feature, it wouldn’t make sense as
implemented, as GVs for non-ampable (&-able) subs like *CORE::chdir
were not being made read-only.
This commit adds a new flag to newATTRSUB, to allow a GV to be passed
as the o parameter, instead of an op. While this may look as though
it’s undoing the simplification in commit
8756617677dbd by adding
more code, the new code is still conceptually simpler and more
straightforward.
Since newATTRSUB is in the API, I had to add a new _flags variant.
(How did newATTRSUB get into the API to begin with?)
In adding a test, I also discovered that ‘used once’ warnings
were applying to these subs, which is obviously wrong. Commit
8756617677dbd caused that, too, as it was relying on the side-effect
of newATTRSUB doing a GV lookup.
This fixes that, too, by turning on the multi flag in
S_maybe_add_coresub.

Restore triple-dot directory spec tests in vms/ext/filespec.t.
1fe570cc5e24eecfb07059e53e95fa864bb44142 declared directory
components containing '...' as either 'not translatable' or created
the expectation that each dot should be individually escaped when
translating between Unix and VMS directory specs. That doesn't
really make sense since in both formats it means any number of
intervening directories, plus there was already code of long
standing that handles it. So get the tests in this regard back
in line with reality.

Start rationalizing Unix-to-VMS file spec conversion code.
Back in
360732b5267d5dfef32b932bf13ceebc6683df74, we started using
an experimental new conversion routine that had been designed for
a CRTL feature called POSIX-compliant pathnames but at this point
was added as a jumping-off place halfway through the existing code
for converting Unix-format file specifications to VMS format. But
only for newer versions of VMS and only when a different and
unrelated feature called Extended Filename Syntax (EFS) had been
enabled.
But this newer implementation (somewhat inauspiciously named
posix_to_vmsspec_hardway) is less complete and more buggy than the
older implementation, and it imposes expectations that have nothing
to do with EFS, not to mention making for a larger, version-
specific support matrix.
So for now go back to the older, better-tested (though imperfect)
version and simplify the differences made by invoking EFS. None
of this makes any difference at all unless non-default CRTL
features have been enabled.

Warn for stat(*unopened) after statting file
Statting an existing file used to prevent a subsequent stat(*unopened)

Safe.pm: Make sure SWASHNEW is properly loaded
This module was depending on testing code points in the upper Latin1
range causing utf8_heavy.pl. However a recent performance improvement
caused those code points to skip the loading. This just changes the
code points to two higher values that cause it to load, and until and if
it changes again, will fix things.
