This is finished with rev 726260. I added the UEL to FlexibleMapAccessor so
that l-values can have expressions.
Now we can do things like (in screen widget):
<actions>
<set field="someList[]" value="Red"/>
<set field="someList[]" value="Blue"/>
<set field="someList[]" value="Green"/>
<set field="blueIndex" value="1"/>
<set field="someList[blueIndex]" value="Indigo"/>
</actions>
<widgets>
<label text="${someList}"/>
<!-- Displays [Red, Indigo, Green] -->
</widgets>
