But no one could figure out what bob was supposed to equal anyway.
Wouldn't bob equal the boolean result of the expression (carol = 2)?

Or how about ":=)" to mean is equal and ":=(" to mean it's not.
Then there is ";=)", to indicate 'True', and ':=O' to indicate 'False'
Not to mention "(_ | _)" for asserts!
