Yeah, I'm totally cool with going with `=`, but I will point out one snag.
What about users with existing stellar enrichments using `:=`, would we provide
a migration path beyond saying, "Hey, move your stuff over" in the Upgrading
docs?
Migration, sadly sometimes, is also part of user experience. :)

> Key: METRON-1090
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/METRON-1090
> Project: Metron
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Reporter: Otto Fowler
> Assignee: Otto Fowler
> Priority: Major
>
> Add support for =, +=, -=, *=, /= for variables in stellar.
> foo = 5 returns 5 AND sets foo to 5 if the VariableResolver supports it.
> The shell should be changed to assign variables using this syntax, because
> exposing the left side to stellar allows catching errors for invalid keywords
> in left side.
