Thanks very much for your reply!  If ":=" is not an "operator," by
your helpful definition, then is there a category like "symbol,"
"delimiter," or at worst, "thingy," that it *does* rightly belong to?

Yup, Appendix A lets you call it a "symbol". (More specifically, a "terminal symbol" or a "delimiting terminal symbol", but those are too cumbersome for the blank in your sample sentence.)
