I have a proclivity to code like the following:

   if( (status = FuncCall(foo, bar, gex)) < SomeValue)
	   GripeAboutIt();

or variations thereof.  When I run saber on such code, it babbles a 
warning about the assignment in the test.  Being the gullible naif I am, 
I worry when a heavy duty tool like Saber complains about something.  Is this 
practice considered kosher by those in the know?  Why or why not?
