Using the result of an assignment expression can be quite unclear, except for
simple cases where the result is used to initialise another variable, such as
`x = y = 0`.

Consider a common pattern of lazily initialising a field:

```java
class Lazy<T> {
  private T t = null;

  abstract T create();

  public T get() {
    if (t != null) {
      return t;
    }
    return t = create();
  }
}
```

```java
class Lazy<T> {
  private T t = null;

  abstract T create();

  public T get() {
    if (t != null) {
      return t;
    }
    t = create();
    return t;
  }
}
```

At the cost of another line, it's now clearer what's happening. (Note that
neither the before nor the after are thread-safe; this particular example would
be better served with `Suppliers.memoizing`.)
