What chance is there of having assignment denoted by := in the standard?
(None, right?  To much code is written with = already. And if I really
insist I could use the preprocessor.  None the less ... )
The reason I would like this is then ALL assignments ( +=, |=, etc) would
be two characters long (consistancy!!). Among other things this would minimize
the = vs == type errors.
