No. It's a bug. It generates

class Spill{string leak;void create(){(___hilfe->leak)="Ouch!";}};

but should generate

class Spill{string leak;void create(){leak="Ouch!";}};

It seems the variable rewriting is a bit overly ambitious sometimes; is the following an already known misfeature?

Pike v7.3 release 62 running Hilfe v3.5 (Incremental Pike Frontend)

...

class Spill{string leak;void create(){leak="Ouch!";}} leak;

Compiler Error: 1:'leak' undefined.

...

object hm=Spill(); leak;

(1) Result: "Ouch!"
