Arrays are parameters.  Everything described in the section on
parameters applies to arrays (and associative arrays / hashes) as
well.  The semantics may differ slightly -- sometimes every array
element is affected individually, sometimes the whole array is
examined.  For $+name (which is shorthand for ${+name}), it's the
whole array.
