I agree, and I'd go further: if someone wants to bless into "0" you
should assume that they know what they are doing, and that they are
probably doing it specifically (and for some good reason) so that
ref($obj) will be false.

I'd be inclined therefore to add a warning if you try to bless into
"0" (to help those doing so inadvertently), document in diagnostics
that this will affect boolean ref(), and leave the rest alone.
