Icon has assignment forms of every operator.  It also has some multi-character
operators.  End result:
	a ~===:= b
assigns b to a iff b is not the same datum as a.  (It is equivalent to a := b).
I have in the past accused Icon of being terrrifyingly consistent.

It may not be natural, but it can be convenient!
