    Wow, didn't know about dropping the qw!
    Why does the ||th  lead to only returning the last value from the /1?./g -indexed list?

    Update:  I see, it becomes a comma list which returns the last value ("the result of the last expression").
    see, A list returns its last, an array returns its weight
