That's fine with me.

If you wanted something more specific than "aliasing", which I could
understand, I'd suggest that the salient detail of this aliasing is not the
backwhack on the lhs, but the fact that it's done with the assignment operator.
I'd then go with assign_alias or something formed from those two parts.

I think I am happy to let you name the thing, as long as you don't name it that
thing I didn't like. ;)
