Referencing structure inline [message #89832]

Perhaps a fundamental misunderstanding on my part but I'm wondering if there is a way of making this work:

IDL> z = {x:1,y:2}
IDL> z.x
1
IDL> ({x:1,y:2}).x
% Object reference type required in this context: <STRUCT Array[1]>.

I have a function which returns a structure and I would like to use it in this manner:

z = (myfunc(input)).x

However I get the same error as the example above. The following works

struct = myfunc(input)
z = struct.x

Can it be done in one line?
