I ran into an issue while having a brain fart and misusing the binary operators in our software — wrote about it in http://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=1205583

While indeed the & operator shouldn't be used between these flags, I think this is a bit of a problem.

Is it necessary to use AUTOLOAD or could these constants be made proper use constant stuff with a void prototype instead?
