Description
When assigning a value to a struct's field (foobarInstance.foo = 51;), the corresponding part of the AST looks like this:
There neither is a REF edge to the corresponding MEMBER node nor a REF edge to the definition of struct's instance (e.g. to a corresponding LOCAL node).

Reproduce the struct field assignment example and inspect the resulting AST and graph edges. The work is complete when the assignment has a REF edge to the corresponding MEMBER node and another REF edge to the struct instance definition, such as its LOCAL node.
