@nickwallen No, that's not correct. Stellar enrichments can contain `:=`.
Consider the enrichments
[here](https://github.com/apache/metron/tree/master/use-cases/geographic_login_outliers#enrich-authentication-events)
in one of our use-cases. Enrichments can either take a map of enrichments or
a list of strings. If you pass a list of strings (which you would need to do
to create temporary variables that you then remove before passing through, like
in the example), you'd use an assignment, which is currently `:=`.

> 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.
