That's normal for a typed language that has type auto-coercion. I consider
this a major feature. It certainly makes the internals tricky, but when
working on the assignment code, I always tried to keep the coercions and
the eventual assignment code independent, even in the face of efficient
tuple unpacking, because I considered it the expected behaviour.
