Or maybe we could leverage the new walrus operator and write
str := (int)
With the idea that someone may confuse ":=" for "<-", so we can swap
result and argument types comparing to their natural/intuitive order?
No, with the idea of making use of an already-legal expression and
not introducing any new syntax into the grammar.
But we indeed can treat
":=" as a function operator in annotations, and write:
(int) := str
But that would be backwards with respect to the flow of data when
:= is used for assignment. Also, it is not currently legal syntax
when there is more than one argument, because := doesn't support
unpacking.
