why not supply a interface like:

Val& v = var.assign(val);

for simplity, and the unnecessary "get" is also elimited.

<snip> Seems reasonable to me, sometimes we do want to do some immediate operations after the assignment.

I don't think it's worth cluttering the interface. It's one more function that has to be documented and tested. I don't see this as being a common use and there's nothing stopping anyone who wants such a function from implementing it himself as a non-member. In Christ, Steven Watanabe
