'Course, they can be a bennie when printing arrays (of words,

print @array; # why's it all smooshed together?

print "@array"; # okay, that's readable.

Mostly I use that when I'm tossing in a quick'n'dirty debug line, 
though. Although then I feel like an idiot when I'm saying "But it 
looks right" and later learning that the problem was @array = ("one 
two three") instead of ("one", "two", "three")...
