Is "item context" what we're calling scalar these days, or something else?
According to S03, it does indeed appear that "item context" is the
current terminology for what perl 5 called "scalar context":
The item contextualizer
item foo()
The new name for Perl 5's scalar contextualizer. Equivalent to $().
We still call the
values scalars, and talk about "scalar operators", but scalar
operators are those
that put their arguments into item context.
