> rob had a aimple example of some java that ":=" could help.

i think almost any example would do: i started off writing Java using the
        Typename variable = expression;
        ...
style but java declarations are cluttered, and it becomes so hard
to see the part that does the work, that i reverted to C's style of
declaring all variables at the top of the block.   it's still hard to
see class-level functions and variables beyond all the annotations.
syntax colouring produces visual results that sadly i find all too similar to
those ``credits completed in an entirely different style at great
expense and at the last minute''; and thus i still can't read the code properly.
