Research direction

Start by running the Scala 3 reproduction in the issue: case class X(a: Double); X(0).modify(_.a).setTo(1). Then trace the Quicklens Scala 3 implementation to find why an Int cannot be used for the Double field; done means this example compiles and works as expected.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

To reproduce:

case class X(a: Double)
X(0).modify(_.a).setTo(1)
