I generally stick with this until I need the below option. It is less
cluttered and shorter to type (though the first is more important than
the second).

Usually when you need this is when you have multiple depths of
references and the syntax becomes ambiguous to the interpreter.
Something like,
@{$hashref->{$scalar}}
In this case without the {} the interpreter can't tell if you mean,
(@$hashref) ->{$scalar} or @ ( $hashref->{$scalar} )
The parens are NOT normal syntax, I am using them to show grouping.
