This is not a good primitive. It can be built using assign, and having this instead of assign be primitive complicates the arc compiler, instead of merely introducing another macro.

If you look at the wart source (linked in the thread), you will see that it is actually a macro. I'm not sure why akkartik called it a primitive.
