Please note that help("<<-") says:
"The operators '<<-' and '->>' cause a search to made through the
environment for an existing definition of the variable being
assigned. If such a variable is found (and its binding is not
locked) then its value is redefined, otherwise assignment takes
place in the global environment."
Thus, if you really want to make sure to assign it to the global
environment you should do:
assign("b", value, envir=globalenv())
