in reply to smart match operator should be smarter!

1. This is your untouched code and my results: 
use strict;
use warnings;
use 5.010;

my @numbers = (2);
my @other = (2);

if (@numbers ~~ @other) {
    say 'yes'
}else{
    say 'no';
}

#output: yes


if (@numbers ~~ (2)) {
    say 'yes'
}else{
    say 'no';
}

#output: yes

    ikegami said earlier that the smart operator was changed after version 5.10.0. Apparently, it was buggy and too unwieldy to work with. As a result, it is no longer commutative.

    $ perl -v

This is perl, v5.10.1 (*) built for darwin-2level
