> The following code
> {code:java}
> a?.x = 1; a.x{code}
> returns 1 and creates ant-ish variable {{a.x}} in the evaluation context. The expected behaviour is to fail with assignment error because there is no {{a}} variable. As an alternative approach we can restrict safe-access operator at the left side of assignment at all, since there is no much sense in assigning anything to what can be null.
