Assignments with selection? e.g. `x[x > 10] <- 10`

What to do with assignments with selections?

library(dcmodify)
m <- modifier(x[x > 10] <- 10)

This works, but should it be translated into

m <- modifier(if (x > 10) x <- 10)

?

We can discuss it over a second beer, after the one we used for discussing #16 👍

Beer it is :-),
implemented it in dcmodifydb as a post parsing step, otherwise those assignments would not work on a db.
Also in dcmodifydb is.na(x) <- x > 10 is translated into if (x > 10) x <- NA
