And for me it's still not clear which order of interpolation should be named correct in your opinion.

For me it's intuitively natural to think that "$x$y$z" should act like join("",$x,$y,$z) .

But print join ("",${X(1)},${Y(2)}); prints

X
Y
22

because it's well defined that all arguments are evaluated before they are passed to a function.

So the whole point of this ill idea of returning the same reference with different side effects could only work because interpolation was inconsistent from the beginning.
