Maybe, this extension should be really part of [expr], so we can write

That's TIP#282, which is probably not going to be in 8.5 after all. That
is because it introduces a new concept, an LValue, which [expr]essions
didn't have before, and we'd like to have more alpha-cycle time to
evaluate it's effects.

Funny, just 2 weeks before my posting. Okay, for 8.5 it's far too late. But
if it has a chance to get into 8.6 (will there be one?) or 9.0, I can
wait...
