My proposal is simple: require that any if statement that compares a constant to a mutable variable be written as if (constant == variable) instead of if (variable == constant) this prevents an extremely common programming error if (variable = constant) While this is almost always found in testing sometimes thing can slip through and writing it using the former method will generate a compiler warning.
