Either way, it won't hurt me if I don't use it, so I don't really mind 
all that much. ;-)

Yeah, that's very nice.

As to C, I've switched to always writing "if(<value> == <variable>) 
..." when possible, so the code won't compile at all if I accidentaly 
type '=' instead of '=='. Unfortunately, that doesn't work for 
variables... *heh*

Then again, "-Wall -Werror" (GCC) does trap any use of '=' in a 
condition, unless it's marked as "I really mean this!" by extra 
parentheses. I use it all the time.
