Except that it has to be a reference to a reference, because (1,2) (in scalar context) already evaluates to a reference, because it can't be a pure array. A list isn't a thing like an array. It's always the result of something: list context. Could you think of a formal specification of \ the way you want it, that doesn't exist of only examples? What context does it give its RHS? What do you want , in that comma to do? Are parens in any way special when used with \? What is the precedence of \?
