Here is an answer that everyone might like:
The "get x" construct is already a syntactic equivalent of "it=
x" (left assignment).
That could be expanded to the general form "it gets x".
Now we have a general xTalk flavored version using the new "gets"
keyword.
From there just substitute any shortcut for "gets" like "gts" or "=".
There you have it. Elegance, consistency, and brevity!

Hi John,
I do often write myVar = x. But I like the fact that there is a
different logic
for properties and variables.
set the width to 100
put 100 into myVar
You would loose this with the x = 4 syntax.
Since it would be optional as it is in other xTalks, nothing would
be lost.
