of course, i could, and this all is not really a problem for me,
its just that this is not what i expected!

if i assign a var by reference to smarty, than cause i want to make 
changes to this var after i append it to smarty, or to save resources

but never to overwrite this extern var by a call to append()


if others think this is not a bug ... not my problem! as i said i have 
no problem with this behavior

p.s. sorry for my english
