That was my reaction, too.  The discussion reminded me of old comp.lang.c threads about i=i++ and similar issues. The anomalies in
   xNew <- `func<-` (xOld, value) 
arise precisely because it isn't supposed to be used that way.

My other proposal for 'rigidly defined areas of doubt and uncertainty' has been the evaluation order of the *apply family (eg, does apply process the columns left to right, or right to left, or however it feels like?).
