I think scalars play a super-normal role already. E.g., hashes and
arrays can hold only scalar values. The restriction to scalars may be
a small one, especially when it makes the whole idea of lvalued
subroutines feasible. Without the need for zillions of operator
overloads, complex prototypes and so on.
