Nit: not statement. In C assignment is an expression not a statement,
so you can use it in a condition. But not anything that C considers a
statement. (Even the 'new' C++ and C99 option of putting a declaration
in (the head of) a for-statement is specifically a declaration, which
is not a statement in C99.)
