PASCAL's := assignment operator

[n0ns...@xinutec.org]

Hi there.
In PASCAL's syntax, the assignment operator is ':='. This operator is
reversible, so it was also possible to implement a '=:' operator with a
syntax comparable to following:

x + y + 1 * 1023 =: z;

This is a logical improvement to the PASCAL standard, at least from my
point of view so I request it being added to the PASCAL standard.

Regards,
Moritz Wilhelmy

You're two days too late - it's the 3rd April here now ;-)

If however it was intended to be a serious suggestion what is your
rationalisation for the assertion that "This is a logical improvement to the
PASCAL standard".

Unless, of course, he's serious - in which case he is several
decades too late.
