"A warning on `==` inside of `if` is ridiculous. `==` is comparison for equality. `=` is assignment. Anyone who can't at least keep these two straight shouldn't be doing programming." One programmer's appreciated warning is another programmer's annoying noise. If you think some warning is noise, turn it off.
