Bug#855901: Data::Dumper could allow starting from VAR0 etc.

[積丹尼 Dan Jacobson]

Package: libperl5.24
Version: 5.24.1-1
Severity: wishlist
File: /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/perl/5.24.1/Data/Dumper.pm

We read
       o   $Data::Dumper::Varname  or  $OBJ->Varname([NEWVAL])

	   Contains the prefix to use for tagging variable names in the
	   output. The default is "VAR".

OK, but an additional variable, to control the number the 1, 2.. of
VAR1, VAR2.. would be useful too. E.g., if the user has an array and
he wants to match its indexes and thus have the names start at "VAR0".
Or who knows, he wants to start at VAR5 etc.
