-When using the '':='' assignment operator, beware of the following syntactic annoyance: the expression ''a := 1'' denotes an assignment to the variable "a", while ''a:= 1'' is misunderstood by the parser as "a: = 1", which is the invocation of a keyworded message named ''a:''. Keyworded message sends will be explained later on in this chapter. Hence, as a general rule, don't forget to always put a space between the variable name and the '':='' operator.
