-Packages such as the B<AutoLoader> and B<SelfLoader> that delay loading
-of subroutines within packages can create problems with package lexicals
-defined using C<my()>. While the B<vars> pragma cannot duplicate the
-effect of package lexicals (total transparency outside of the package),
-it can act as an acceptable substitute by pre-declaring global symbols,
-ensuring their availability to to the later-loaded routines.
+Unlike pragmas that affect the C<$^H> hints variable, the C<use vars> and
+C<use subs> declarations are not BLOCK-scoped. They are thus effective
+for the entire file in which they appear. You may not rescind such
+declarations with C<no vars> or C<no subs>.
