I know about subscript indirection, and frequently use it just as you
describe. But this time I'm after something different: an equivalent
to tie in Perl. Essentially, I want to TRANSPARENTLY arrange for a
global set (no indirection) to be implemented as a function call. It
may not be possible, but I wondered if there were non-standard
extensions implementing this functionality. I do have some ideas
about how to emulate it.
Essentially, I'm looking for a way of creating enhancements that
doesn't break legacy code.
