My problem with this is -- how do you read such code out loud?
It could be--
"if diff, which we let equal x - x_base, and g, which ..." or
"if diff, which we set equal to x - x_base, and g, which ...." or
"if diff, which we define to be x - x_base, and g, which ...." or
"if diff, which we define as x - x_base, and g, which ....." etc.
Thanks, Chris J.
For myself, I can read that as
"if diff, which is x - x_base, and g, which is ..."
That works for me.
Changing my vote to
+1 (but only for simple name bindings)
