Its not really of nasty as it looks (IMHO). If we can have an
lvalue context for evaluation of expressions, then I can't
see any real problem.
We already have the possibility of evaluating a sub in
lvalue context. This is disabled unless the sub has the
lvalue property. Is there any reason why non-sub blocks
shouldn't have this enabled, by default.
