Could we use any kind of symbolic sequence in LHS of assignment ?

For example, would the following assignment be possible? 

{{a,b},c} = {{d,e},f}

Brilliant idea!

Isn't this simplier and faster ... 

a = d 
b = e 
c = f

Shame on you!

FWIW, Phix has, or will have:
= - the "ambiguous" (ie context-dependent) operator as per OpenEU
:= - the explicit assignment operator (not properly implemented yet)
== - the explicit equality operator

Note that Phix only permits these explicit operators as an aid for legibility; it does NOT extend functionality, so both 

  a==0

and 

  if a:=0 then

generate compiler errors
