Perl pragma to lexically control overloading

Usage

    {
        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;

Overview

`"no overloading @ops"`	Disables only specific overloads in the current lexical scope.
`"use overloading"`	Reenables overloading in the current lexical scope.
