+CAVEATS
+    The pragma doesn't apply when one dereferences the returned value of an
+    array or hash slice, as in "@array[$id]->{member}" or
+    @hash{$key}->{member}. This syntax is valid Perl, yet it's discouraged
+    as the slice is here useless since the dereferencing enforces scalar
+    context. If warnings are turned on, Perl will complain about one-element
+    slices.
