After 2.6 current behaviour of selecting main Sub will be changed. Instead of something like "First sub in PIR file if there is no :main Sub" we will use only first Sub marked with ":main" modifier.
Main reason - enable args validation of 0-arity subs. See also http://irclog.perlgeek.de/parrotsketch/2010-07-13#i_2550626 for discussion.

Eligible in 2.7.
