OK, so this is multi-valued, tbl.x, tbl.y tbl.z.  A bit like the
'with' statement of old Pascal, except an expression.

x,y,z in tbl doesn't read too badly, I was just worried that there
were now two distinct meanings of the construct, depending on whether
a statement or an expression.

I'd agree, it's ass-backwards ;)
