unless assignment becomes this wacky thing, equivalent to comparison for all 
intents and purposes:

undefined = defined -> returns true, has a sideeffect: the variable that was 
undefined gets assigned the value of defined
defined = defined -> returns true iff the two defined variables/values have 
the same value, no sideeffect
defined = undefined -> returns false, no sideeffect

not sure is a good thing tough ;)
