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.
> STELLAR Add Assignment capability to Stellar language

> 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.
