Interesting. Try:

IDL> (f(a[0]))=2
% Expression must be named variable in this context: <INT ( 2)>.
% Execution halted at: $MAIN$

and you'll see the distinction. Temporary variables can be used for
many things, but direct assignment is not possible. One good use of
temporary variables is subscripting or structure dereferencing them:

IDL> a=(size(b,/DIMENSIONS)[0]
