Interestingly PostgreSQL's pl/pgsql does that.
There are two operators, equality = and assignment :=
But where it is clear that assignment was meant, = is treated as assignment. this means you can:
a = 5; -- exactly equivalent to a := 5 here
if a = 6 then
raise exception 'this should never happen';
end if;
Interestingly this is entirely a Postgres-ism. Oracle's PL/SQL offers no such "feature."
