If you really wanted to overcome objections that this looks too much like a function, you could spell it "$". I'm not sure what I think about $(a=7, $(a=a+1, a*2)) yet, but it doesn't make me want to run screaming in the way that := does. I think I finally worked out why I have such a violent reaction to := in the end, by the way: it's because it reminds me of Javascript's "===" (not the meaning, but the fact that it exists). -[]z.
