<h2>Description</h2>
<div class="description"><p>Assigns a value to a property of the current scope specified via <code>property_chain</code>. Unlike in
JavaScript, if there are any <code>undefined</code> intermediary properties, empty objects are created
and assigned in to them instead of throwing an exception.</p><div ng:non-bindable><pre class="brush: js; html-script: true;">
         var scope = angular.scope();
         expect(scope.person).toEqual(undefined);
         scope.$set('person.name', 'misko');
         expect(scope.person).toEqual({name:'misko'});
         expect(scope.person.name).toEqual('misko');
