for your def of DWIM. i can see wanting an anon array to be pushed onto
@a building up a structure. your example is too simple to really cover
this as you could just push @b or a ref to @b (damn, i need to learn
more basic p6 syntax! :).
a more useful example would be serializing data trees. if you dump @b
with .perl do you want the current dumper output of a anon array or your
list of values? when serializing a tree, you must get the ref version so
that is the common and default usage. your version isn't DWIMmy there at
all.
