Ah, but that supports my theory. It's not the LHS of
the ($bar,...)= assignment that generates the data for
$foo -- it's the RHS. The LHS of the ($bar,...)=
assignment determines the *context* of the $foo=
assignment.
Q.E.D. The quantity of elements on the LHS don't
matter, but the quality of the LHS does.
