Agreed.

Sorry, I'm still pretty new to the tree layout. So what is the easiest way 
to access this? referenced_vars returns the 'this' variable which is 
obviously a structure. My understanding is that I can access it's fields
with the facilities available but 'i' is what was specifically 
referenced - not all of the fields. So the question is, what is the 
easiest way to obtain the specific field that was referenced in this case?
