Hmmm...  If adding anything at all to lash is reasonable, this probably would 
be.  It supports "this=that" as a statement, which would ordinarily set a 
shell internal variable except lash doesn't have any.  It doesn't support 
"this=that command"...

I'm trying to figure out if it is.  Lash is already a funky custom environment 
to program against...

Very definitely on the fence here...
