@a = @b || @c

[Peter Scott]

@a = @b || @c should 'work'.  In P5 it puts @b in scalar context and thus 
evaluates as the number of elements in @b if there are any.

This one is so tiny, I feel like it should be grouped with something else 
before it's big enough for an RFC... what do people think?  Is it part of a 
larger issue I haven't seen?
