in thread Confused as to why the "casting context" is mis-behaving
The dichotomy is false, for the reasons that you give, but I would argue that is by no means "nonsense". As a simplification, a model, for the behaviour of Perl, the list vs. array distinction remains useful. It is better to have a model, with exceptions, than no model at all.
