Subject: shuffle() should return an array ref
shuffle() and any other List::Util function which returns a list should be made to return an array ref. This is what autobox::Core does. It allows chaining. say %hash->keys->shuffle->join("\n");

Shuffle is the only function that returns more than one value. It now returns a list in list context and a an arrayref in other contexts. This allows chaining to work.
