Howdy.  i points to the output node created from IDENT so you it seems 
you are setting the proper variable.  #(i) is very strange though.  What 
do you mean here?  #i or i works, but #(i) is a long way to say make i 
the root of a tree with only one  node: i.  That may be something for 
which the code gen is broken.  Try removing the #(...) around the i and 
see what happens.  Let me know if this is a bug and I'll add to the 
list.  Loring may already have found this ;)
