Hello,
A very light topic: I've just discovered the Ada / Pascal assignment
operator, is one of the alias of the logical-equivalence or defined-as
operator, that is, “ := ” is an alias of “ ≡ ”. As was trying to makeup my
mind about some ambiguities in the use which is made of “ ≡ ” when I
landed to this Wikipedia page :
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_logic_symbols
This is a rather good choice which was made… would have been a perfect
choice is this was not used for side effects (let say this is just the
interpretation context which slightly vary :-D ).
