I agree with this.  The expression $x = $y==1; is valid but it's hard to
read.  In order for our code to have any kind of legacy, it might be best to
type a few more characters and use
$x = false;
if ($y == 1)
    $x = true;

or whatever else we can type to help others after us figure out what we
meant to do (or at least get close);

My humble $.02
