=head1 NAME

overloading - perl pragma to lexically control overloading

=head1 SYNOPSIS

{
	no overloading;
	my $str = "$object"; # doesn't call stringification overload
    }

# it's lexical, so this stringifies:
    warn "$object";

# it can be enabled per op
    no overloading qw("");
    warn "$object";

# and also reenabled
    use overloading;

This pragma allows you to lexically disable or enable overloading.
