Well, I am heartened to hear that =op is being removed rapidly. I am
all in favor of doing this and moving on to ANSI semantics, I was just
pointing out that it's a little early to flame folks who haven't
changed their compiler yet since recent source releases still contain
such code (albeit in rare and obscure places as Guy Harris pointed
out.)

Now, back to the indent/echo wars...sorry for the interruption.
