Thanks, Carlos.

It seems there a syntactic ambiguity here. When I write U.f := ..., it could
mean either that I want to put a new value in the dictionary slot f of U, or
that I want to retrieve the cell U.f and then put a new value in that cell.
Is there a way to disambiguate in the syntax?

I realize that I could get it to work by binding, say, Uf = U.f, then write
Uf := @Uf. But I'd prefer to be able to do it without a separate binding.
Something like:

(U.f) := @(U.f)

doesn't seem to work either. (Although I'm not at my Oz terminal now so I
can't double-check).
