I was going to suggest this too after reading PM's post. I would suggest
that for whatever reason a list operator was used on a scalar, including
a hold over form another language (Ruby and perl5), a warning should be
issued. Most likely to be an error.

Warning on using any list-y op on a scalar seems like a good idea, and
the fact that the idea arose after a perl5 misunderstanding now looks
like a "red herring". That is, while warning on "only"
reverse-on-a-scalar may be a bad idea and perl5 specific, I'd vote for
warning on all apparent mis-uses of list ops on scalars as a generally
helpful.
