        (As far as I'm concerned the lack of a link is a bug.) Many of my
        distributions are also mirrored at <https://bitbucket.org/tobyink>.

        To submit the patch, do a pull request on GitHub or Bitbucket, or
        attach a diff file to a bug report. Unless otherwise stated, I'll
        assume that your contributions are licensed under the same terms as
        the rest of the project.

        (If using git, feel free to work in a branch. For Mercurial, I'd
        prefer bookmarks within the default branch.)

        If there's anything unclear in the documentation, please submit this
        as a bug report or patch as above.

        Non-toy example scripts that I can bundle would also be appreciated.

    variable which is lexically aliased (`local *car`) to the caller's
    variable of the same name. Because `steal` is parsed at compile-time, you
    don't need to (and indeed should not!) pre-declare your stolen variables.

       sub greet_verbally {
          my $name;   # don't do this!
          steal $name;
          say "Hello $name";
       }

    By default, this module steals from your *immediate* caller. You can
    thieve higher up the call stack using:

       steal 0 ($car);  # caller's $car
       steal 1 @boats;  # caller's caller's @boats
       steal 2 %stash;  # caller's caller's caller's @stash

    You cannot indicate the level you wish to steal from using a variable; it
    must be a literal integer in your source code. (It can be in decimal,
    octal, hexadecimal or binary notation.) The integer must immediately
    follow the `steal` keyword, and not be followed by a comma.
