Usually, context is good enough to disambiguate between the cases. The
most prevalent convention in programming languages is = is assignment,
and == is comparison (PHP adds === only because of its type-juggling
system). Other languages have = as comparison, and := as assignment.
Donald Knuth uses = as comparison, and a left arrow (<-) for assignment.
