C<wantarray> is the function which tells you in which context your
subroutine was called - void, scalar or list.  This means, what will
happen to the data you return from the sub?  Will it be used as a list, as
a scalar, or will it be thrown away?  You might want to return different
values, depending on what will happen to them.
