I think the error I'm getting here is misleading. Should I file a bug?

import CoreGraphics

func
+=(inLHS : inout CGPoint, inRHS : CGPoint)
{
    inLHS.x += inRHS.x
    inLHS.y += inRHS.y
}

struct
PathPoint
{
    var anchorPt: CGPoint?
}

var points = [PathPoint()]

let dv = CGPoint(x: 0, y: 0)
points[0].anchorPt = dv
points[0].anchorPt += dv

Playground execution failed: error: MyPlayground.playground:17:7: error: cannot subscript a value of type 'inout [PathPoint]' (aka 'inout Array<PathPoint>')
points[0].anchorPt += dv
~~~~~~^

Hi, Rick. The error seems to be a little better in master:

<stdin>:20:11: error: cannot convert value of type 'CGPoint?' to expected argument type 'inout CGPoint'
points[0].anchorPt += dv
~~~~~~~~~~^~~~~~~~

but that's still not great. So, yes, please do file a bug at bugs.swift.org <Issues · apple/swift · GitHub.

Thank you!
