what's up with this new `name::` syntax?

I have no problem with the concept, but I have a different suggestion for
what `name::` should mean: a verb that assigns the variable with that name.

That seems like a much more commonly wished-for thing (assignment in
trains) :

Could you use `name:.` instead for self-effacing names? It's even got a
mnemonic... The big colon followed by the diminutive period could indicate
the change in status.... :)
