Comment:
1) The assign syntax sugar is a horrible hack and makes implications about
semantics that simply aren't true (bind vs assign). It was a mistake.
2) Issues with inout vars on certain ops expected to be "mostly assignish"
prevent this working with perfectly sane PIR (for as sane as PIR can be).
3) We've had a patch to accomplish this with IMCC for 6 months but due to
issues mentioned above, this has not been done.
