Seemingly.

There's BEGIN, END, etc, but they operate on a different level,
they're not functions.

OO is traditionally magic name based (con-/destructors,
finalizers, etc) in most languages, so it's not particularly a
choice on Perl's part.

tie() is indeed magic name based.

Overlading, on the other hand, is not.

Well, you have to add a call to register the handlers. Not that
much more work..
