in thread Why nothing from 'strict' or 'warnings' with deref'd undef value?

That very question just came up on p5p, the Perl developers' mailing list. It turns out that some rvalue operations autovivify and some don't. Spoke Nicolas Clark, the pumpking:

So why are indexing and defined special?
Are they the only exceptions to the exception?

No answer was obtained.
