NQP does not autovivify "our @" but does for "my @"

[bsdz]

When declaring a list using "my" NQP autovifies whereas with "our" it does not.

i.e.

load_bytecode('library/dumper.pbc');

our @our_list;
@our_list.push('some data');
_dumper(@our_list, 'our_list');

my @my_list;
@my_list.push('some data');
_dumper(@my_list, 'my_list');

outputs :-

"our_list" => ResizablePMCArray (size:0) [
]
"my_list" => ResizablePMCArray (size:1) [
    "some data"
]

whereas one should expect: -

"our_list" => ResizablePMCArray (size:1) [
    "some data"
]
"my_list" => ResizablePMCArray (size:1) [
    "some data"
]

A workaround is to declare an "our" scoped list as follows: -

our @our_list := ('dummy' , 'dummy');
@our_list.shift();
@our_list.shift();
@our_list.push('some data');
_dumper(@our_list, 'our_list');
