Re: Assigning part of indexed object

Arguably Set should be a bit more intelligent about this situation.
But it is an easy fix:

Unprotect[Set];
Set[sym_[[part_]], val_] := sym = ReplacePart[sym, part -> val];
Protect[Set];

In[65] := m[1] = Range[5]; m[1][[1]] = 10
Out[66] = {10,2,3,4,5}

Bear in mind that since this relies on pattern matching, it will not
work in situations
where pattern matching is not available via the interpreter (for
example, in compiled
code).
