You were somehow expecting an answer to your "Why?" that didn't involve opinion? No. I was expecting a justifiction to back up the opinion expressed. You gave none. Start with: `<lvalue(s)> = @{ <some reference expression> };` I contend that: One thing you want to know is: "Where are the value(s) being assigned coming from?": And the above expression it is easy to see that: "it's getting the values by dereferencing and array ref". Only then do you think about: "Where is it getting the array ref from?" Which you get by examining the (simple or complex) expression contained. This new syntax: `<lvalue(s)> = <some reference expression>->@*;` forces you to skip to the end to work out what is going on. That's an opinion backed by reason.
