Railo and multi-variable assignments rock!

I found a neat little feature in Railo 3.1 which I myself is calling multi-variable assignments.
Let's say you want to assign a value to multiple variables in coldfusion. You would usually do this:
Name = "Luis Majano";
ColdboxAuthor = Name;
CodexAuthor = Name;
AwesomenessAuthor = Name;
That is really neat right, well, Railo makes it fun!
Name = "Luis Majano"
ColdboxAuthor = CodexAuthor = AwesomenessAuthor = Name
How about that!! I can assign values to multiple variables, by just concatenaning the equals. Keep exploring Railo and you will find some nice hidden gems.

I think I read that you can do this in CF9, when it comes out. Sure does look familiar.

Eww.. don't like it at all. :)

I've always liked the java way of doing things:
myVar, myVar2, myVar3 = 0;
Sadly I've been waiting since CF6 for this to work :(
