I think these shortcuts could be really useful for array elements, but for  
other variables I am really sceptical and I think they would do more harm  
than good. Generally I do not really see any reason why a variable should  
not be 'instanciated' before use.

So
  +1 if this shortcut is implemented to only work for array elements.
  -1 for any other variable type.
