Speaking of which, what about

IDL> delvar,a ;undefines a
IDL> a[(a=2*findgen(10))]=1 ;agreed, this is a bit crazy, but hold on
IDL> print,a
1.00000 1.00000 1.00000 6.00000 8.00000 10.0000 1.00000
14.0000 1.00000 1.00000

Now, this must be a bug, surely... (or a very strange feature indeed).

Ciao,
Paolo
