Is there any reason right-assign with "->" still exists? How much
code on CRAN uses it, and how trivially could it be excised?
Dozens of packages on CRAN use it: abc, abd, adabag, AdaptFitOS, bgeva, ...
Can we
also have 'up assign' and "down assign" so I can do:

- they make just as much sense.
I'll work on those; they sound easier than excising right-assign.
