oops I meant "array and scalar variables" above...

to make one other point, the ISA(/ARRAY) function is unambiguous in
its meaning.. it should return true for arrays and false for scalars,
regardless of whether the scalar is an object reference.

unless.. of course, the object refererence refers to an array-like
object I suppose... but in the case of hash objects if you try to do
this:

a=hash('first',1)

and then try to index it with a[0], this throws an error.

confusion! :)
