Actually, I believe there's a specific build setting that special cases just 
this construct; it seems to default to 'on' at least in Xcode 4.2 under SL, as 
I never get the 'unintended assignment' warning, even though it does warn me in 
other cases where I might type "if (a = b)" or some such. IIRC, it's near the 
bottom of the compiler warnings that you can check off, but it's getting late 
at night...
