If you'd been studying the holy writings properly, young Torkington,
instead of those wicked magazines under your bed, you'd be familiar with
RFC 128, specifically:

        http://tmtowtdi.perl.org/rfc/128.html#Context_classes

Should that epistle find favour in Larry's eyes, the specification
of the proposed modification to C<length> would be:

        sub length ([\@$]) { ... }
