Field of a function return value not treated as an l-value

[mcavanagh]

struct Thing { a: int; }
func returns_ptr(): Thing*;

func set_value(): void
{
    returns_ptr().a = 5;
}

produces

error: Cannot assign to non-lvalue

Is this intended? Currently resorted to doing

func set_value(): void
{
        thing := returns_ptr();
        thing.a = 5;
}

Yes, this is a bug. I'm doing the auto-deref logic after the lvalue check. Stay tuned for a fix.

Fixed.
