Hello,

given that `*tmp*` is removed after a replacement, how can code like this work? Is there some special handling for a variable named `*tmp*` when it comes to make element assignments?

> x<-c(1,2)
> x[1]<-42
> `*tmp*`[1]<-7 # I would expect this one to fail
> `*tmp*`
Error: object '*tmp*' not found

Confused greetings,

Michael
