It's not any harder to remember then === or harder to understand, but a lot better from a debugging point of view since you're much less likely to confuse it with == (=$ might be better). I'm not hooked on the symbol, I just don't like === there are already a lot of people who think == and = were a mistake for c, and that they should have done = and := instead, so why make it worse (ok so == works well with && vs & and || vs |, but it still causes a lot of mistakes for programmers). How about x= it stands for exactly equal.

Perhaps something along the lines of =?=, ? being some good character to fit in there. =~=

=x=             (seems to suggest an X over the equality, which appears not-equal)
