The Perl* classes do implement the perlish way (like autoextending
array, or morphing to a different Perl scalar. These are basically our
only current working scalars (the lower case named base classes are
abstract classes)
When we have more classes like a Python hierarchy, we will see, how and
how far the functionality does match. If we find some, we can put in an
intermediate ParrotScalar.
But when it comes to PerlUndef (like above) you are right. Its used in
Array too for example.
