I'm sorry, but unless there's a sudden landslide of support for 'given' in favor of ':=', I'm really not going to consider it.
OK, this is my ha'p'th in favour of 'given', for what little it's worth. The more I see of general assignment expressions, the less I like them. All I really want is a less clumsy way to write while true: thing_to_do = get_something_to_do() if thing_to_do == GET_OUT_OF_HERE: break # else do stuff -- Rhodri James *-* Kynesim Ltd
