I know, and we don't have chained assignments.
TBH, I favour == and := with = being an error in all circumstances.

Perhaps the forum could use a topic category called "Matters of Style" or "Pascal style." The conversations in the area are always interesting.

True. However I'd warn that somewhere (possibly here, possibly on CIX) I've seen an inexperienced user who was unable to distinguish between style and syntax: I forget the detail but he tried to insist that the compiler should be rejecting an EOL in a context he didn't expect.
I'd also like to reiterate: if a language (or its devotees) relies on the avoidance of a style which is syntactically valid in order to detect potential problems, then it's badly broken.
