Hi all,

I'd like to propose an inbuilt "assignment" operator for use within do-blocks.

Time to add your proposal here! https://wiki.haskell.org/Nitpicks

I just requested access to the wiki.

Honestly, I feel it would break the way I read Haskell programs (i.e. no reassignment surprises).

How is this any worse than using `foo <- return $ bar foo` or `let foo = something completely unrelated`?
