I know there has been a lot of grumbling in the past about the need to create PMCs to be the LHS of operations. I don't have a real suggestion here, but I just wanted to draw attention to this recurring theme, since now would be a good time to deal with it.
I thought we had. Languages provide the destination PMC. A handy default is a PMC of class Undef. On assignment, Undef turns itself into a pmc of class:
set_integer: Integer
set_string : String
set_number : Float
set_bignum : BigNum
set_pmc : Whatever type the source PMC is
