Actually, thinking about it more, it seems to me that it would be ok for
these cases to just be errors.  There's no really good way to refer to
the anonymous field as its own entity, and I don't think we should hack
up the parser and whatever else to support this.

This one, I think should be an error.

Keith> -var-info-path-expression a.public.0_anonymous.b = "((a).b)"

But I agree about this one.

What do you think?
