The \& prototype is meant to take a literal "&foo" as a parameter,
and implicitly enreference it. For example​:

$ perl -lwe 'sub foo(\&) { print "foo​: ", $_[0]; } sub bar { print "bar"; } foo &bar'
foo​: CODE(0xe79ad8)

It rejects anything that's not &-based​:

$ perl -lwe 'sub foo(\&) { print "foo​: ", $_[0]; } sub bar { print "bar"; } foo 1'
Type of arg 1 to main​::foo must be subroutine entry (not constant item) at -e line 1, at EOF
Execution of -e aborted due to compilation errors.

But if the parameter supplies is a subroutine call other than bare &foo,
it does something silly​:

$ perl -lwe 'sub foo(\&) { print "foo​: ", $_[0]; } sub bar { print "bar"; } foo &bar()'
bar
foo​: SCALAR(0x19ffdf0)
$ perl -lwe 'sub foo(\&) { print "foo​: ", $_[0]; } sub bar { print "bar"; } foo &bar(1)'
bar
foo​: SCALAR(0x1e17df0)
$ perl -lwe 'sub foo(\&) { print "foo​: ", $_[0]; } sub bar { print "bar"; } foo bar(1)'
bar
foo​: SCALAR(0xca8df0)
$ perl -lwe 'sub foo(\&) { print "foo​: ", $_[0]; } sub bar { print "bar"; } foo bar'
bar
foo​: SCALAR(0x1a36df0)

It leaves the entersub op intact, rather than extracting only the rv2cv
op, and wraps it in the usual refgen. It should instead have rejected
the parameter as not matching the prototype.

See also #47363, which is the same thing for arrays.
