Add single-term prototype
The C<+> prototype is a special alternative to C<$> that will act like C<\[@%]> when given a literal array or hash variable, but will otherwise force scalar context on the argument. This is useful for functions which should accept either a literal array or an array reference as the argument: sub smartpush (+@) { my $aref = shift; die "Not an array or arrayref" unless ref $aref eq 'ARRAY'; push @$aref, @_; } When using the C<+> prototype, your function must check that the argument is of an acceptable type.
