PARSE cannot SET or COPY a PATH! variable directly

[Siskin-Bot]

Submitted by: Hostilefork

You cannot use a PATH! as the target for a SET or COPY operation in R3-Alpha's PARSE.

>> obj: make object! [x: none]

>> parse "abc" [copy obj/x to end]
** Script error: PARSE - expected a variable, not: obj/x

>> parse [10] [set obj/x integer!]
** Script error: PARSE - expected a variable, not: obj/x

It would seem that paths should be legal here, as the current workaround requires setting or copying into a temporary variable and then assigning into the object.
