Re^3: grep command

I don't see it as a *simple* spoiler, as people quite often try it in scalar context like

$cnt += m{pattern}g;

which doesn't work as they expect.

I don't see it as a simple spoiler, as people quite often try it in scalar context like `$cnt += m{pattern}g;` [download] But then the usual workaround is `$cnt += () = m{pattern}g;` [download] which is somewhat simpler and more natural than your reference-and-dereference trick.
