Sure. I really just had in mind the basics of "I want &(that one there) to
use in another expression". It only has to make sense when it makes
sense. :-)
The point of frustration comes when the (ordinarily quite nice) pretty
printers are hiding what the (otherwise painful to read through) generic
old style of printing internal member details make fairly easy to express.
