Because that's simply assigning a value to an array element.
I ordinarily do not use a function for that.

Hm. Might be an option. But I still don't like it. We complicate code
(_correct code_, no less!) just to make some compiler happy. If this were
MSVC++ 6.0 or Sun whatever everbody would start cursing.
For bleeding edge g++ we'd cut our legs off.
I must have missed some point.
