    Scalar values are always named with '$', even when referring to a scal
    +ar that is part of an array. It works like the English word ``the''. 
    +Thus we have:
    
        $days               # the simple scalar value "days"
    ...
        @days               # ($days[0], $days[1],... $days[n])
        @days[3,4,5]        # same as @days[3..5]
        @days{'a','c'}      # same as ($days{'a'},$days{'c'})
