Then you've just broken overloading. For example, suppose someone writes
this innocuous method:
sub push_foo {
my ($self, $array_ref) = @_;
push $array_ref, $self->foo;
}
this method works exactly as documented and expected, until the day
someone passes an overloaded scalar as an arg to it, then finds that
the overloading is being quietly ignored.
