Indirect modification

[arokettu]

Currently you cannot modify arrays that are set as view variables

$view->a = [];
$view->a[] = 1; // PHP Notice:  Indirect modification of overloaded property Aura/View/View::$a has no effect
var_dump($view->a); // empty array

is it a bug or expected behavior?

The fix is simple:
return field by reference

public function &__get($key)

I can make pr if you agree that it's a bug

@sandfoxme I believe if you keep an array to view you should not alter the data.

@harikt I don't claim that that code is good :) I encountered this bug when upgrading from legacy Zend1 code. Still, the behavior is very unexpected and non intuitive. Also, there is no problem with all other data types
