I'm not sure that the use of a `==' operator in place of the `=>' is
going to solve the problem. As a "C" language programmer, I might
recognize the `==' operator as the logical equality operator. I'm not sure
what other languages have used `==' for. Ada's use of `=>' (for named
parameter association, etc.) is sufficiently different from what most other
computer languages provide that it deserves a "different" operator. Once a
programmer gets use to the concept, they shouldn't mind which way the
"arrow" is pointing.
