Actually, the problem is not really that it's only one letter, but that
it's the "keyword" m, used for matching (as in "m/regexp/"). Of course
the same can happen with other keywords like "s", "tr", "y", "q", "qx",
and various others.
I'm not sure if such a function definition is valid. Does Perl accept
it and can you actually call this function?
