Would you also like:

    $x->location++;
[download]

to Just Work? How 'bout:

    my_increment($x->location);
[download]

presuming that the argument is declared rw. And what about:

    $ref = \$x->location;
    $$ref++;
[download]

and such?

You've got yer blinders on if you think that's all just "language theory".

Though it's kind of nice to be accused of being a language theorist for a change. Usually I'm accused of sacrificing theory on the altar of practicality.
