Hm, I guess you are right. This kind of thing would be required for a correct implementation.
On the other hand, it got me thinking: Do we really need references anyway? Couldn't we just make "expr[expr] = expr" and "variable = expr" the grammar rules, and code everything in there? We would need to kill:
* Local/Global/VarNamed - Should be deprecated
* Reference parameters - I guess returning arrays is the cleaner solution anyway
* Reference return values - I think I'm about the only one that actually used that feature
* "
On the plus side, we might get a lot of simplification on the engine side, plus maybe even some speed. Am I overlooking something?

(bla = x) = y" - yeah, like anyone actually does this kind of nonsense.On the plus side, we might get a lot of simplification on the engine side, plus maybe even some speed. Am I overlooking something?
