in thread Autovivification identification

Note that in recent Perl (since 5.14), push can take an array reference as the first argument. This is an experimental feature and no autovivification happens here: 
my $x = [];
push $x, 0, 1, 2;     # OK
push $x->[3], 'ouch'; # Error: array reference expected.

    I did not know that. I kinda like it, but I am not sure if it leads to more readable code for those who come after me.
