[Bug]: Using `:=` within a table access does have a side effect! #938

Closed EagleoutIce closed 2 months ago

EagleoutIce commented 2 months ago

In other words, a line like:

foo[,ii_yy := sample(ii),]

Actually changes foo as a side effect!

Additionally we can not carve them out, so there is no standalone ii_yy := sample(ii) it is all defined within the context foo and not a side-effect definition of ii_yy
