As someone else mentioned, "x = 1" already has meaning in xTalk
Frank, et al:
For the record, I'm not just waxing theoretical here: look through the handlers in any component of Serendipity Library and you will find statements were I use "x = 1" [or more likely "x is 1", but syntactically equivalent] to set boolean values.
* put (argument1 = true) into argument1 -- defaults argument1 to false if no argument is passed in the call. Among other things, this lets calls to SDB handlers with multiple arguments, eg:
on findSDBRecord @sdbBuffer,exactKey,fieldDelimiter,itemList,setPosition,searchForward,searchCriteria,cutoffKey,recordDelimiter,unlockRecord
to be referenced by Revolutionists who don't need to override defaults as though the syntax were "on findSDBRecord @sdbBuffer"
* put (field 6 = empty) into skipField6
* put (field "Customer Balance" = 0) into addCustomerToCallList
Accommodating your request would force moi, at least, to rewrite MANY handlers.
