Here is a question: How does this relate to getting hashrefs and
arrayrefs from functions?

   if ( want->{count} > 2 ) { return $one, $two }

Will that be interpreted as:

   'want'->{count}
   want()->{count}

To be consistent, it should mean the first one. That is, the infix
operator -> should always autoquote the bareword to the left. Am I
correct in assuming that's what you meant?
