but in fact, this doesn't work:
getValue(fn)[[1]] <- 3
Error in getValue(fn)[[1]] <- 3 : could not find function "getValue"
I suspect this is a parser problem.
Umm, no...
The canonical semantics are that
foo(x)[[....]] <- bar
is internally converted to
*tmp* <- foo(x)
*tmp*[[....]] <- bar
x <- `foo<-`(x, *tmp*)
so both foo() and `foo<-` are required.
Yes, you're right. I need more sleep.
