I vote to get rid of `:=` if we want to make it uniform.
I'll also straighten the scope stuff out etc. the whole nine yards if we
want to do that. I think that might make this a feature branch, but that would
be good as it will be easier for @cestella or whomever wanted to contribute to
get in on it.---
