Why not just push them onto the stack. Then the assignment operator
(or at least the version in the optree) handles the flattening.

Does it really have to be via context? I offered the possiblity that
if there is a array not in the last position we could interpret the
assignment as a piecemeal assignment.

	(@fit, @corr) = ...;

Otherwise

	($fit, @corr) = ...;

Would do flattening.
