The funny part is that I remember learning this could be a problem
back in the… 5.4 days? But ever since "my" assignments started
becoming legal inside the tops of conditional blocks and "open"
statements and such I just silently assumed it wasn't dangerous
to mess with the assignment line anymore.

Thanks for the reminder!
