Details:

Either the documentation for structures in the manual is wrong or there is a
bug in the way to create structures of structures.  The docs say that both of
the below are kosher:

x.y = 1
x.y.z = 2

While the first assignment suceeds, the second gives this error:

   error: scalar cannot be indexed with .

The relevant section of the docs is "6.1.1 Basic Usage and Examples."
