Making Functions Setable

[porky11]

It would be nice to be able to define setable functions (like setf in common lisp)

You would be able to write get(array i) = value for set(array i value)
Maybe using a syntax like this:

defsetter v get(x y) set(x y v)

It should also be possible to use it in structs then like this:

defstruct Test:
  x with: (setable => true)

val v = Test(1)
x(v) = 2
println(x(v)) ;;prints 2

Thanks for the feedback. We have a number of syntactic short hands that
we're considering and a setter shorthand is one of them.
