Mr. Nobody:

Great. That could mean it won't work right for MyCustomArrayLikeThing.

# Oh goody. I was worrying they might not be confusing enough.
There are a lot of confusing syntaxes in Perl--if you don't believe me,
go look at the Obfuscation section on PerlMonks. :^) That doesn't mean
we try to get rid of them--we just tell people not to use them, and they
don't unless they're trying to be perverse.
