That's not the point; the point is that some nonzero number of compilers
(and probably Coverity too) will warn about this construct, on the not
unreasonable grounds that = might be a typo for ==. (Those extra parens
might satisfy gcc, but not other tools.) Please put in an explicit
comparison of the assignment result, as is done in approximately 100% of
the other places where this idiom appears in Postgres.
