I think you missed a key point.  Is 'var = value' (an assignment) going to be 
allowed anywhere (conceptually), or only standalone.  If anywhere, then yes, 
we must use '==', otherwise the Python grammar will help.  I was assuming 
that when/if the grammar was broken into two parts, that expression wouldn't 
be top-level, but something like statement from Python would be.
