Hrm.  Perhaps you aren't explaining yourself clearly.  Let's pretend
that there is a magical value called $LVALUE that contains the thing
being assigned.  Are you saying that in

        somesub = $value;

the subroutine C<somesub>, being lvaluable by default is free to use
or ignore $LVALUE?  If so, how does one detect errors?  When
C<somesub> is ignoring $LVALUE the above would silently fail, yes?
