Assigning Proxy objects

[Ingo Blechschmidt]

Hi, 
 
  sub proxy () is rw { 
    return new Proxy: 
      FETCH => { 42 }, 
      STORE => -> $new { 23 }; 
  } 
 
  say proxy();        # 42 
  say proxy() = 40;   # 40, 23, or 42? 
 
Currently I think the last line should output 40, consider: 
 
  sub innocent_sub ($var is copy) { 
    my $foo = ($var = 40); 
    # Do something with $foo, relying on $foo being 40. 
  } 
 
  { my $x = "does not matter"; innocent_sub $x } 
  # Works 
 
  { my $x := proxy(); innocent_sub $x } 
  # Would break if (proxy() = 40) would not return 40. 
 
But I can argue that the return value of Proxy object should 
be the return value of the code given by FETCH in the Proxy 
object construction, too... 
 
Opinions?
