RE: assignments in expressions?

Now that we have a "break" statement, you can eliminate the duplicate
assignment by doing this:

while 1 do
    c = f()
    if c == 1 then break end
    print(c)
end

What is wrong with this way?  It is no different in functionality and easier
to understand.

c = f()
while c == 1 do
  print(c)
  c = f()
end
