This is not clearly defined.
x=(....)
currently does an unset on x and the does the assignments.
So I would expect the the unset disciplines would be called for each of
the elements that existed before the assignment. However, any disciplines
should be removed.
Since there is no discipline funtion yet defined, no set discipline should
be called.
For
x+=(....)
I would expect the set discipline to be called for each element.
