Even look at the error message there: I didn't ask to set the *contents* of {x, y}, but AS does recognize that I wanted to set {x, y}, not {3, 4}. I *asked* to set the contents of {a, b} to {"hello", "there"}.

contents of {a, b}

... should return a list of lvalues in this context, wouldn't you say?
