ACK, all compiler magics deserve an update.

But that done, I still can see no change but code bloat :-(

All other cases, where var arguments are involved, cannot work with 
property references. If this was not handled properly in the past, i.e. 
when the field address was used for the reference, then this flaw could 
have been fixed with no impact on existing code.
