If foo->@* means @foo, then does foo->@*[0] mean @foo[0]? That is
useless if we have foo->@[0].
If we have foo->@[0] and extend it to all sigils, we end up with:
$_->*{foo} # means *$_{foo}
$_->${foo} # means $$_{foo} (i.e., $_->{foo})
$_->&(foo) # means $&_{foo} (i.e., $_->(foo))
The last two are useless. The dollar form steals existing syntax.

See sprout/postderef. Caveat: It was late when I wrote it.
