IMO that's the wrong question to ask. The @ has nothing to do with whether
it's a hash, the { after the X has everything to do with it. So, when you
see 'X{' you are talking about %X (well, there's *X{THING} -- another story).
The @ is the type of the 'return value'. So, it's not that unintuitive after
all...
