in thread What operator should perl5porters use for safe dereferencing?
I guess you're right, the ampersand isn't so obvious.
The problem is, reading the ampersand meaning address of could even make sense in perl. You could want an operator to create a bound method call, so eg. $object&->method creates a bound method like do { my $o = $object; sub { $o->method(@_); } }, and $object&&->method creates a bound method call weakly referencing the object.
