R: assigning to complex attributes does not work as expected

[Gábor Csárdi]

Carl Pearson reported this:

library(igraph)
g <- graph.ring(10)
V(g)$foo <- lapply(1:vcount(g), sample, x=1:100)
V(g)$foo[[5]][1:3] <- 0
V(g)$foo

You are right that

V(g)[9]$foo[1:2] <- -100

does not work and that it should. I consider this a bug, and will fix
it, if possible.

We wil postpone this to 0.7, because I need to think over the correct and unambiguous way of handling complex attributes.
