I'm much happier promoting a full-featured assignment expression than

there reason to believe that extensions to the := operator might take
it in a different direction? If not, there's very little to lose by
permitting any assignment target, and then letting style guides frown
on it if they like.
This is a very good argument: why artificially restrict the operator?
This reminds me of the artificial restriction of decorator syntax (why
is @foo()() not legal?). There was never a rationale given for that and
now we are stuck with it.
