"They return different values when called in a scalar context." ? You could make versions that return the first element or a reference to an array or that die when called in a scalar context. But they all return he same list in a list context. Trying to come up with some shorthand that describes both what they return in a list context and what they return in a scalar context without ever mentioning "context" is just a mistake in my book. - tye (but my friends call me "Tye")
