The stately := operator feature proposal

This one is really hard for me to offer input on:

I could get a lot done with the const version.

I could agree with you for multiple reasons I think,
- const x := 1; still works, yet it's redundant with the = 
operator.
- writing const style code is good in math
- the := fits into FP-style code too
- := has some historical precedence (in the parsers) (but not in 
the languages) for meaning const

And I'd be happy with compromise.

But personally, I did truly want to use it for the non const 
stuff, too, even if I don't want to admit that. I'd use it for a 
lot of stuff.

Which leads me to dare suggest there could be 2 operators ....
:= and $=, the latter for const (Guys you may be mad now, people 
would like the $= later on...)

But please, don't let that worry you!

I only ask for the simplest change, if there could be any 
compromise.
