As I mentioned before `setExpression` is too general. We can't handle all possible `l-value` expressions in proper way. Another problem is that we should work with `evaluateName` instead of `variableReference`. For example, `evaluateName` for `std::unordered_map` element is `map._M_h._M_before_begin._M_nxt->[0].first`, which is not a valid expression in terms of `C/C++`.
