.length is unneeded, since an array gives its length in numeric context, so
you can just say +@a. grep shouldn't be an array method either, it should be
like the perl5 grep, as it is often used on lists, "grep /foo/, keys %h" is
far more readable than "@{[keys %h]}.grep(/foo/)".
Some things should be methods on arrays though, like push, pop, shift,
unshift, and splice, since those are only for real arrays anyway.
