Subject: assumption about @_ always being non-REAL doesn't hold when
X-Git-Url: http://git.shadowcat.co.uk/gitweb/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=221373f040d37efa146b635e4ed58b8334fcb8bf;p=p5sagit%2Fp5-mst-13.2.git

assumption about @_ always being non-REAL doesn't hold when
debugger is running; DB::sub() can call arbitrary stuff
that modifies @_ at will
