1. Just another question

   I just noticed that there is an operator '=:'. What is it used for? 
   
   At the moment I have disabled ':' a_expr in the parser since it's not
   distinguishable from a variable. The same problem appears with this
   operator. But it can be worked around by using '= :<var>' instead of
   '=:<var>'. On the other hand I wonder whether this operator is still needed
   when ':' is not allowed in a_expr, b_expr, ...
