So either you take a parallel from elsewhere in Python syntax, or you
take a hopefully-intuitive dataflow mnemonic symbol. Take your pick.
My problem with the "->" option is that function annotations already use
"->" to indicate the return type of a function. This is an unfortunate
parallel from elsewhere in Python syntax, since the meaning is
completely different.
":=" is at least new syntax.
"as" is nice in that it's already used for assignment, but seems to be
causing too much difficulty in parsing, whether by compilers or people.
