I think we're agreed that that would be the most logical thing for it
to do, but do you have an idea how that could be implemented? At the
moment, that = is an OP_SASSIGN, and you need an OP_AASSIGN to do '@a
= "foo\n"'. In my opinion, adding runtime checks to pp_sassign or
sv_setsv() is something to avoid; either we should figure out how to
make this work at compile time, or make it an error.
