[gnu.g++.lib.bug] Minor bug in String.h

kha@idt.unit.no (06/20/89)

operator = should not be void functions. (The law of the least
astonishment).
The standard libraries should use return values on operators and
assignment operators should normally have the behavior described in
Kernigan & Ritchie: The C Programming Language ( second edition )
Chap. 2.10

VHMap uses a assignment in a return statement, and fails to compile
when used on strings. 

To Doug: Sorry for the other copy of this message. ( In an unfinished
state.) But I hitted ^c^c to early. :-)
