There's also the related issue of in-place operations on some
difficult-to-write lvalue:
@{$coderef.("argument").{hashelem}} =
sort @{$coderef.("argument").{hashelem}};
Did I get the text the same both times? What about maintaining that code?
What about side effects on the subroutine I called there?
Someone Damian-shaped will probably come in and point out how to prettify that
using "given", but it still wouldn't be as short as last week's
$coderef.("argument").{hashelem}.self:sort();
