[PATCH 0/4] docs: spec: constant initialization and assignments

[ricardo_kagawa@disroot.org]

From: Ricardo Kagawa <ricardo_kagawa@disroot.org>

For this patchset I'm assuming that:

- We agreed constants should be initialized immediately, and that this
  should be validated in syntax, rather than during semantic analysis;
- We agreed that chained assignments and related constructs were indeed
  not desired, and can be safely removed.

The last commit in the set is optional, and should be removed or
reverted depending on when the definitions of binary operators land. You
may choose to not include it regardless, but I'm not a great fan of
specifications that are not self-consistent.

This patchset includes changes suggested in a superseded patchset:

- Refactoring and renaming non-terminals in the grammar specification
  for better clarity in definitions related to variable declarations
  and assignments;
- Removing the ability to declare uninitialized constant variables;
- Removing the ability to use assignments as expressions;
    - This also removes the ability to use chained assignments; and
    - This also removes the ability to use assignments inside
      conditional clauses of future statements.
- Temporarily removes assignment operators that still don't have their
  corresponding binary operators defined. Please remove or revert this
  last commit if those missing definitions are incorporated before this
  patchset. Otherwise, revert it after they are applied.
