that is, we should get C<1> scalar C<1> time over C<5> and so on. The sum of all values is C<1>. The returned result, and all the results obtained from intermediate subs, are cached into the object.

For example, the subroutine
it is considered to return C<3> scalars with probability C<1/2>, C<2> with probability C<1/2 * 1/2 = 1/4> and C<1> (when the two tests fail, the last computed value is returned, which here is C<< $x > 0.9 >> evaluated in the scalar context of the test) with remaining probability C<1/4>.

+The total probability law for a given returning point is the convolution product of the probabilities of its list elements.
As such,
never returns C<1> argument but returns C<2> with probability C<1/2 * 1/2 = 1/4>, C<3> with probability C<1/2 * 1/2 + 1/2 * 1/2 = 1/2> and C<4> with probability C<1/4> too.
-=item * If a core function may return different numbers of scalars, each kind is considered equally possible.
+=item *
+
+If a core function may return different numbers of scalars, each kind is considered equally possible.
For example, C<stat> returns C<13> elements on success and C<0> on error. The according probability will then be C<< { 0 => 0.5, 13 => 0.5 } >>.
-=item * The C<list> state is absorbing in regard of all the other ones.

-This is just a pedantic way to say that "list + fixed length = list".
+The C<list> and C<exit> states are absorbing in regard of all the other ones.
+
+This is just a pedantic way to say that C<list + fixed length = list>, C<exit + fixed length = exit>, but note also that C<exit + list = exit>.
That's why
sub listy {
is considered as always returning an unbounded list.
