Ah, ok. Then it's not the assignment that does the copying but rather the merge operation before it. (Besides, the copying in that case is only one level deep while copy_value is recursive.)
you are right, my bad. (so much for quoting from memory :-)
Also, those operations have nothing to do with indexing, so it's not sane if operators for them involve a pair of square brackets.
? assignments to arrays/mappings involve indexing, don't they? assignments to simple types don't have any copy semantics do they?
