I must disagree with this, on the grounds that a "typical load" of old 
cobblers are frequently spouted on this list.  Practicality beats purity 
any day of the week.  But no, this '=' is misused, it should have been 
':='.  Who really cares, if you don't like the language, pick another 
one, there's thousands of them to choose from.  Ah, another chance for 
me to plug the virtues of CORAL 66 and CORAL 250.  Capability violation 
anybody?
