Can someone explain this behavior to me? I can't find anything in the
documentation that states that repeated subscripts are handled
differently.

IDL> a = FINDGEN(5)
IDL> i = [1, 2, 3]
IDL> a[i] = a[i] + 10.0
IDL> PRINT, a
0.00000 11.0000 12.0000 13.0000 4.00000

This is the behavior I expect.

IDL> a = FINDGEN(5)
IDL> i = [2, 2, 2]
IDL> a[i] = a[i] + 10.0
IDL> PRINT, a
0.00000 1.00000 12.0000 3.00000 4.00000

Why does it only do the operation *once* when
IDL> HELP, a[i]
<Expression> FLOAT = Array[3]

IDL> a = FINDGEN(5)
IDL> i = [2, 2, 2]
IDL> a[i] = a[i] + [10.0, 10.0, 10.0]
IDL> PRINT, a
0.00000 1.00000 12.0000 3.00000 4.00000

Even this doesn't help.
