Note that this distinction will go away after the Great List Refactor, so Gabor gets his wish. Part of the GLR is to remove most of the itemization/listification uses of Scalar, since we're also getting rid of most of the auto-flattening contexts that itemization was designed to protect against. This is last major semantic simplification we're doing before releasing Perl 6 later this year. Larry
