Isn't that a bit inconvenient? To get e.g. 2 out of @b one has to write @b[0][1] while for $b a $b[1] suffices. And @x = @b maintains this superficial level of indirection? Does @x = @b[] remove one level? How does that compare to @x[] = @b?

Thus

my @b = (1,2,[3,4]);

is equivalent to

my $b = [1,2,[3,4]];

which in turn is equivalent to

my $b = (1,2,[3,4]);

and

$b = @b

blows away one level of indirection? Or is it then $b[0][1] == 2 as well?

In the end the LHS is needed to calculate +[1,2,[3,4]] == 1|3?
The same applies to testcases 7 and 8.
