Assignment context defined ?

[Srikanth S Adayapalam]

It came up during local discussion that the term assignment context 
appears not
be defined precisely: The introduction of section 5 has an informal 
discussion 
where item 2 bullet 1 starts:

  "Assignment contexts (including return statements, etc.) are supported" 

which implies that the term "assignment context" is used loosely, to 
include
many more syntactic constructs.

Shouldn't there be a clear enumeration ? (Assignment, return statements,
local declarations with initialization, field declarations with 
initializations,
array creation expressions with initializations ...)

Thanks!
Srikanth
