No, this was issue 3748.
commit a7eb9033f29d35d110afd1730a238f5c50e00369
Author: David Kastrup <d...@gnu.org>

Issue 3748: Allow assignments with property paths to use x.y.z = value
syntax
This is actually an embarrassing oversight in issue 2883: while it
became possible to rewrite
markup-system-spacing #'minimum-distance = #25
as
markup-system-spacing minimum-distance = #25
it has been overlooked to allow for the obvious
markup-system-spacing.minimum-distance = #25
This commit is indeed version 2.19.0, but there is also the cherry-picked
commit eff4ab669513f38f14cc6d01b24bead358124da1

Issue 3748: Allow assignments with property paths to use x.y.z = value
syntax
This is actually an embarrassing oversight in issue 2883: while it
became possible to rewrite
markup-system-spacing #'minimum-distance = #25
as
markup-system-spacing minimum-distance = #25
it has been overlooked to allow for the obvious
markup-system-spacing.minimum-distance = #25
in 2.18.0. So this oversight has been corrected in 2.18.0 already.
The new developments allow numbers into alist indexes, and actually
referencing individual alist members syntactically. But the assignment
syntax for symbols as indexes (and symbol list arguments) was
established earlier. I think that the old
drumPitchNames #'slap = #'slap
has worked for a long long time (quite earlier than 2.12). But it's
quite underdocumented. I think it caught me by surprise when I first
discovered it in the parser.
