I think you're making the same mistake as Bob. Assignments aren't
equations.
x := x + 1 definitely not an equation.
It may be desirable to have a programming language that can solve systems of
equations, but....
The result?
I think it defies logic for assignment to be anything but deterministic.

x + y := 3 definitely not an equation.
x - y := 1 definitely not an equation.
x = 2 and y = 1? possible.
x = 503423 and y = 503422? also possible.
x = -324 and y = -325 also possible.
