final prevents modification of other subpath

[stdweird]

object template t;

final "/a/b/c" = 1;
"/a" = {
    SELF['e'] = 2;
    SELF;
};

gives

evaluation error [/tmp/t.pan:4.1-7.2]
/a cannot be modified; /a/b/c is marked as final
>>> call stack trace 
>>> [/tmp/t.pan:4.1-7.2]
>>> ====================

this can be further reduced to following code that fails with same error

final "/a/b/c" = 1;
"/a" = {SELF};

@ned21 i labeled this as a bug

[stdweird]

this is probably due to my limited understanding what SELF is.
i always assumed that SELF was some form of pointer-to, and eg "/a" = {SELF;}; is a noop.

@stdweird did this get fixed somewhere? Or is it a non-issue?

[stdweird]

no, it's quite complicated to solve.
