For which it's extremely useful. Initialize a whole bunch of variables
to zero... or to a couple of values:

minfoo=minbar=minquux=1000
maxfoo=maxbar=maxquux=0


There are times when I miss the "assignment is an expression" concept,
but I'd say this syntax covers 90% or more of use cases for assignment
expressions.
