Yes, the relevant place in S02 is:
* Unlike in Perl 5, references are no longer always considered true. It
depends on the state of their .bit property. Classes get to decide which of
their values are true and which are false.
So, should I make the default implementation of Scalar Refs to return the .bit
value of the referent?
