I admit that this is not something that I'd ever use. I guess I've been
burned enough in my 30+ years of programming to know that many "shortcuts"
are usually deep cuts that hurt you eventually. 

I think the first time I came across this concept was the similar one in
COBOL - the MOVE CORRESPONDING construct. Seemed like a good idea at first,
until some changed the underlying structures and suddenly strange things
would happen.
