in reply to Re^6: Is there a wantobject like wantarray?
in thread Is there a wantobject like wantarray?
Maybe better "involves possibility" or "allows".
The point about a "want context" is to return the right data type.
Returning an object could be a work around, if it transforms into the right data type after first access.
Otherwise there would be a performance penalty for simple scalars.
But not sure if unblessing or untying within an accessor is a reliable approach with calculated risk.
