Principle of Least Surprise [message #52093]

Violated again. Consider:

IDL> a=replicate(1b,10)
IDL> a[3]=bindgen(3)
IDL> print,a
1 1 1 0 1 2 1 1 1 1

but now:

IDL> a=replicate({x:1b},10)
IDL> a[3].x=bindgen(3)
% Expression must be a scalar in this context: <BYTE Array[3]>.
% Execution halted at: $MAIN$

This ought to work.
