Now that's funny!

I've been calling the "indirect assignment operator" in the class notes
that I've been preparing, but wanted to see if there was an official name...

I think for now I will stick with what I have in the notes. I think that
naming an assignment operator in a way that could possibly be confused
with a logical operator would just be too confusing for newbies. ;)
