is (b=1)+(b=2) as dangerous a usage as ((b=1),b)+((b=2),b) ?

[Frank Adams]

While we're at, people might try a = ((b=1)*1) + ((b=2)*1) + ((b=5)*1);

This is no more guaranteed to work than the other variations which have been
given, but I suspect that it has a better actual success rate.

You won't see any of these things in any code I write.
