For myself, I've been back and forth a bit about whether "as" or ":=" is the better option. Both of them have problems. Both of them create edge cases that could cause problems. Since the problems caused by ":=" are well known from other languages (and are less serious than they would be if "=" were the operator), I'm pushing that form. However, the 'as' syntax is a close contender (unlike most of the other contenders), so if someone comes up with a strong argument in its favour, I could switch.
While I strongly prefer "as", if it can't be made to work in the grammar then that option is pretty much dead, isn't it? In which case, I'll take ":=".
