Objecthood in Perl is orthogonal to data structure.  Perl could turn [1,2]
into an object, and you'd be none the wiser until you tried to call a
method on it.  Mind you, the default STRINGIFY method for the default
exception class might be a little surprised to get such a value, but
at worst you'd get an error message like ARRAY(0x239d8), and at best,
we will have provided a way to set a default ARRAY->STRINGIFY method
by then.
