Subject: def [](v) xx; return yy; end # returned value is ignored !?

Hi,

For some class I am redefining operator []=(x). Works great.

However when I use it, p xx[] = zz prints zz, not the value
returned by my method. It makes some sense yet I would have
thought that the responsibility for that should belong to
my method. Am I missing something ?

class Test
  def []=(x)
    nil
  end
end
p Test.new[] = "hello" # => "hello", I was expecting nil

Yours,

Jean-Hugues
