I'm open to argument here, but my thinking is that these should
capture 'a' and 'c + d'.
I think := should act the same as = or there will be plenty of confusion. If one wants to capture less then parenthesis
can be used to narrow it down:
(foo := a) > b
Looked at another way -- you already have the value named as 'a', so why would
you also name it as 'foo'?
