Walter - Discrepancy between EqualExpression spec and implementation

[Unknown W. Brackets]

I have been known to revert checkins for code line that, haha.

Still, I like that I can write something like this:

x = original_x * cos(angle) - original_y * sin(angle);
y = original_y * cos(angle) + original_x * sin(angle);

And know it will work as I expect.  For this reason, I love operator 
precedence.

But I agree that "x == y == z" is just wrong.  I even take it farther 
and can't stand when people do "x = y = 0;", even if it is fine code.

Everyone has their own preferences.
