+=head2 More CORE:: subs
+
+Several more built-in functions have been added as subroutines to the
+CORE:: namespace, namely, those non-overridable keywords that can be
+implemented without custom parsers: C<defined>, C<delete>, C<exists>,
+C<glob>, C<pos>, C<protoytpe>, C<scalar>, C<split>, C<study>, C<undef>,
+
+As some of these have prototypes, C<prototype('CORE::...')> has been
+changed not to make a distinction between overridable and non-overridable
+keywords.  This is to make C<prototype('CORE::pos')> consistent with
+C<prototype(&CORE::pos)>.
