Should "autorounding := smoothing := 0" be "autorounding = smoothing = 0"?
Generally, the word "with" applies to facts and the word "set" applies to
actions, so the former calls for equal signs and the latter calls for :='s.
Generally, yes. But in this particular case, seems to me it would just
look strange to use := in one sentence and = a couple sentences later,
when no real difference is intended. I think it's best left as written.
--thanks, karl.
