This is a bug alright, but not in the way you mean (as far as I
understand your point). "bcheck.o" is not a variable you can print: it's
an expression.
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.
The real bug is that the scalar contained in "bcheck.o" is interpreted
as a series ID, which IMO shouldn't happen; but maybe Allin has a
different perspective on this.
Yes actually this series-ID thing is somewhat vague. You could argue
that "print me", where me==2, is also intended to get to the series with
ID 2...
