$hashref->{-option} reliably interpreted as $hashref->{'-option'}

Interestingly, the former is actually interpreted as an expression (note the "negate" below), but the because of the properties of unary -, -bareword is the same as "-bareword". As of v5.26, "Bareword constant strings are now permitted to take part in constant folding."

$ perlbrew exec --with 5.24.4,5.26.2 perl -MO=Concise -wMstrict -e 'my
+ %hash; print $hash{-foo}'
