Passing key of an array as inout param doesn't work

The compiler doesn't like this:

handler myHandler(inout xVar as Path)
   ...
end handler

myHandler(mVar[1]["path"])

Is this a bug or a known limitation?

I think that's called a bug in the compiler (at line 1392 of generate.g in fact)

Shall I report or do you have it taken care of?

I'm currently looking into it - hopefully it won't be difficult to fix.

I've filed this as bug http://quality.runrev.com/show_bug.cgi?id=15429 - single indirection is fine, more than single indirection does not work at present.
