But this is a case where the syntax exist with Rev NOW, but not within this context.

It is REALLY at odds with itself when...

local x = 5 // is legal, and perfectly normal
x = 5 // is not, and is an unthinkable construction


Not really at odds. Within the local statement, the equal holds always since only string or number can be on the right side. In the latter case, it would be an operator which can have any expression on the right.

In terms of implementation, the former is fairly trivial but the latter would require quite a big change in the parser logic, me thinks.
