TSLANG_ISSUES 17: a store to an indexed Ref<T> names Deref(p[i]) = value - #573

Conversation
`bytes[i]` of a `Ref<u8>` is the element's reference, as a read gives it (`Deref(bytes[i])`), so `bytes[i] = 65` has nothing to store to and reported "saving to constant object". It now says to store through the reference: `Deref(bytes[i]) = value`, which works. Found writing a std::string's characters into a tuple's bytes (TSLANG_ISSUES.md 17).

13, 14, 15 and 18 are fixed by #572, #568, #570 and #569. For 16, `%` is fixed by #571 and `/` stays a number. 17 is answered (`Deref(p[i]) = v` stores) and its error names that form since #573. 5 and 6 stay open: they are design questions, not bugs.

TSLANG_ISSUES.md 17: storing through
Ref<u8>indexing (bytes[i] = x) said "saving to constant object".bytes[i]of aRef<T>is the element's reference, as a read gives it (Deref(bytes[i])). So the store has nothing to store to, andDeref(bytes[i]) = valuealready works. The error now names that form:Decision to confirm: this keeps
p[i]meaning the reference for reads and writes. The alternative, makingp[i] = vstore the element as in C, would givep[i]different meanings on each side of=.Test:
test-compile-ref-index-store(error text + location).Full Release suite with all six TSLANG_ISSUES fixes together: 4074/4074.
