Summary: "Find assignments to"

Initial Comment:
In the 13.X branch of cscope there was a "Find assignments to" search item. 
This mysteriously disappeared in the 15.X branch.

It was a very useful search criteria. For example if there were many instances 
of symbol "counter", and you did a "Find assignments to: counter", you would 
only get the following

counter = 55;
int counter = 0;

and you would skip all the declarations, etc. Without this option, you had to 
do a 2 step process: first, do a "find this symbol", then weed out the 
non-assignments manually.

Please consider adding this option back.

Umm, I would guess that one of the use cases (if there are more than one)
for "find assignment" would be to track changes to a variable's value,
including init statements.

Message:
Putting something back is not possible --- it was never in this branch to
begin with.   That feature must have appeared in 13.x development after
this open-source version was branched off.

Oh, and BTW, it's arguablly incorrect to show "int value=0" in a "find
assignment" search --- that's not an assignment, but an initialization.

This is a very useful feature and I just don't want to use versions later
than 13.x because of this.
