No. Explain what happens here:
var d = 0;
var n = 1;
var r <-- if d == 0 then 0 else n / d endif;

The = is going away. I have a plan to eliminate assignment.
Instead we will use
px <- v;
The form
x = v;
will just be sugar for
&x <- v;
The only have I have where this is not already implemented is compact linear
types, which will probably go away too. A lot of pain, and not being used..
