== vs =

[Dan Revel]

I have often thought that it would be nice to have more distinct symbols
for = and ==.  This thought usually occurs to me sometime after tearing
my hair out trying to figure out why the %$#&! computer can't do what
it's told.  By now I have gotten used to this idiosyncracy and have
mades great strides in avoiding premature baldness by looking for this
sort of problem first when my programs don't run right...

= == := :-) ;^) ? is this evolution?
