I guess nobody is going to say what those extra categories are, are they?

It's bad form to call somebody out on something but then refuse to tell 
them exactly what they've got wrong or have missed out.

3, 4, or maybe 5 mysterious categories of LHS assignment terms that I 
have never been encountered in a million lines of C code I've processed, 
but nobody is willing to say what they are?

I sense a wind-up.
