Let's agree that AssignmentExpression is ok (required for the left-most 
comprehension expression). The main nannying objection was to trying to 
ban = at top level of if and for heads.

If we can settle on this, I'm ok with it given the custom grammar 
already required for if and for in comprehensions. It's not like anyone 
will truly want / need to write comma expressions in heads, as I said 
yesterday!

Separate question to you: (for|let|if)+ is what Jason championed, are 
you on board?
