It had not occurred to me either.
A moments reflection on the implementation reveals that any lvalue will
work, even a[:].
Rather than twist ourselves into knots trying to find ways to disallow
it, I think it should be left in the realm of things that never occur to
anyone and have never been a real problem.
don't-ask-don't-tell-ly yours,
