But then, what is the value that would be returned to grep()? If you use
0 as the last value evaluated inside the block, grep() would return an
empty list, 0 in scalar conetxt, and all your tests woukld be in vain.
So: should
scalar grep { 1 and last } LIST
return 1, if LIST is not empty, and
scalar grep { 0 or last } LIST
return 0?
If that is not dealt with, last inside a grep block will never work.
