This is debatable, but I would argue that it's been sufficiently
annoying for people and such a low-hanging fruit that we ought to do
something about it.
The strategy here is simple: when we find a sequence of expression
that ends with an assignment (let or expect), we can simply desugar it
into two expressions: the assignment followed by either `Void` or a
boolean.
The latter is used when the assignment pattern is itself a boolean;
the next boolean becomes the expected value. The former, `Void`, is
used for everything else. So said differently, any assignment
implicitly _returns Void_, except for boolean which return the actual
patterned bool.
