in reply to Special literals taken literally
Well, err, yeah. Shouldn't this have been obvious to you? Fat comma has the same effect. That hash subscripts are treated as strings is nothing new. You've known you can type $foo{BAR} without having to quote "BAR". This is just the same rule. No special magic at all. In fact, that's thing. There's less magic here.
