ok.

In this case I have a strong opinion so current behavior is wrong. It can
mask errors. There are two correct possibilities

1. raising error - because the update try to apply index on scalar value

2. replace by array - a = {NULL, -1}

But isn't possible ignore assignment

What do people think about it?
