All the more reason to use = instead of <-
Couldn't agree less, Steve. The "<-" should be used for assignment. The "=" sign should be reserved for handling function arguments in the "name=value" form. Doing anything else invites confusion and occasionally chaos.
Lots of examples have been given in the past involving syntax of the form foo(x = y) and foo(x <- y).
