=head1 NAME

multidimensional - disables multidmensional array emulation

=head1 VERSION

version 0.010

=head1 SYNOPSIS

    no multidimensional;

    $hash{1, 2};                # dies
    $hash{join($;, 1, 2)};      # doesn't die

=head1 DESCRIPTION

Perl's multidimensional array emultaion stems from the days before the
language had references, but these days it mostly serves to bite you
when you typo a hash slice by using the C<$> sigil instead of C<@>.

This module lexically makes using multidmensional array emulation a
fatal error at compile time.

=head1 METHODS

=head2 unimport

Disables multidimensional array emultaion for the remainder of the
scope being compiled.

=head2 import

Enables multidimensional array emulation for the remainder of the
scope being compiled;
