With assignment expressions the body of the above function could be simplified to
while points := learner.get(static_hint): learner.feed(f(points))
making it crucially simpler.
Kinda supports my assertion that what we really want is a different while loop. Would it be ridiculous if := only worked in a while statement? -CHB
