Your chosen syntax is a little problematic because for any given
assignment operation, you can't tell statically if it's the left-most
(and should trigger evaluation) or not. One possibility would be to have
assignment return a temporary object, and have the evaluation happen in
the destructor. I don't encourage doing non-trivial work in a destructor
however. Special care would be needed to keep exceptions from leaking out.
I recommend finding a different syntax.
