Gotcha, thanks for the correction! I've removed my post. Could you clarify if or= still exists? I was reading the change log for 1.3.1 and I think I may have interpreted this line incorrectly "Conditional assignment of previously undefined variables a or= b is now considered a syntax error.". Thanks!

My interpretation of your quote is that the feature is there, but if the LHS is undefined, then the error is caught by the compiler, rather than at run-time (what is the falsity of an undefined value?)

Yea, you're correct. This has been one of those "duh" moments. Thanks for the reply!
