How dash e works in 7

    In Perl 5, -e/-E work as follows:
perl -e behaves like an empty perl 5 program.
perl -E behaves the same as perl -e 'use v5.$MAJOR.0'
In Perl 7, ideally perl -e would behave like perl -Mv7 and perl -E would behave like perl -Mv8. The problem is that this would break most of the existing one liners.
