IIRC the idea was to apply much the same type of logic as occurs with split. Ie the logic that implicitly sets the third argument of the split to be N+1 where N is the number of scalar slots on the LHS of the assignment. I hazzily recall discussion on whether using an explicit slice would also do the same. I think if you trawl the p5p archives for sort and optimize youll find it. I think the basic idea was that
would be special cased somehow. As for your question about XS, I really have no idea right now. Sorry.
