           Summary: '=' does not give a boolean result

Using a boolean assignment in an if condition e.g. as follows gives IMHO an
unjustified error message. When a new variable is declared in the if()
condition, everything is OK:

// tst.d
void main()
{ bool b;

  if(b=false) { b = true; }
  if(bool c=false) { c = true; }
}

$ dmd tst
tst.d(4): Error: '=' does not give a boolean result
