Re: enforcing list context

I believe you could also do the following to always have list context on the comma:

sub value {
    my ($self) = @_;
    return ()=( $self->{first},
                $self->{rest} ? $self->{rest}->value : () );
}

But that won't return anything in list context! The other problem is that you need to call value() with the same context each recursive time. I think breaking it down via wantarray() is the simplest solution.
