Subject: [ruby-talk:20862] Control construct syntax error


Why does this give a parse error:

while a = func b
   # do something
end

The `=' could be any other operator. Also fails with `if', `case', etc...

Parentheses around b or the entire expression makes it work, of course,
but shouldn't this be parseable?
