Hmm? No, nothing magical going on here, just MMD, insofar as ^
provides a scalar context, so @foo returns [EMAIL PROTECTED], and we can defined
operators however we like on a particular type according to MMD.

I think it's just .keys. And maybe .ix is the top level index. They'd
be synonymous for a single dimensional array or hash.
