MIR borrowck: the value of an assignment statement is uninitialized

[arielb1]

e.g..

fn main() {
    let y;
    &(y = 0);
}

Causes this spurious error:

error[E0381]: borrow of possibly uninitialized variable: `_` (Mir)
 --> ack.rs:3:5
  |
3 |     &(y = 0);
  |     ^^^^^^^^ use of possibly uninitialized `_`

error: aborting due to previous error
