FWIW, I am firmly in the "must be written as 'DEF = sq_lt(XYZ,ABC)'" camp.
While I would hate to see it left as-is, I would even more hate to see mods
which mean that:

if <expr> then

is nowt like:

x = <expr>
    if x then

or:

f(<expr>)

The meaning of code should not be context-sensitive like this, imo.
