&gt; &lt; Personally, I'd prefer :=..  It's already used in at least one language for
&gt; &lt; this purpose
&gt; 
&gt; VMS's DCL (Digital Command Language, aka VMS shell) uses ':==' to set symbols
&gt; (i.e. make an assignment, of sorts).

Yuck, if anything, do NOT use DCL as a base or to get ideas for anything. :P
