Clearly we should take a page from the ternary operator and make the assignment expression operator just ugly enough that people won’t overuse it. Since I can’t have ‘>>’ or ‘<>’ back, I propose ‘=======‘.

php already uses === for something, we should just use =========== so we can say "it goes to eleven", ending the operator war once and for all. :P
