I guess everything is an expression in some sense; and to me it's a
variable because it just points to some memory location (or doesn't
it?), no calculation has to take place to get its value.
Up to a point: bcheck is a variable. In order to fetch the value contained
in bcheck.o *some* computation is necessary; not particularly exciting
from an algebraic point of view, I admit, but still fetching stuff from an
associative array is something that involves some computing.
