Declares a mutable binding.

# =============================================================================
# 变量 — Declares a mutable binding.
# =============================================================================
#
# What this teaches:
#   • Mutable bindings — `变量` for values that can be reassigned after declaration
#   • Immutable bindings — `常量` and `设` for values that cannot be reassigned
#
# Common mistakes:
#   • declaring 变量 when the binding is never reassigned — use 常量 instead (WARN013)
#
# See also: 常量, ←, ↑
# =============================================================================




# Mutable and immutable variable declarations
#
# 变量 <名称> ← <expr>   -- mutable binding (may reassign)
# 常量 <名称> ← <expr>   -- immutable binding (see 常量/fixum.fab)
#
# GRAMMAR:
#   bindingStmt :← ('变量' | '常量') type? ident '←' expr
#
# EXPECTED OUTPUT:
#   0, 1, 11, "Salve, Mundus!", 30, "Vale"

main {
    # --- Mutable bindings with 变量 ---

    var _ computus ← 0
    print computus

    computus ← 1
    print computus

    computus ← computus + 10
    print computus

    # --- Immutable bindings: 常量 _ and 设 ---

    const _ salutatio ← "Salve, Mundus!"
    print salutatio

    # 设 compresses repeated 常量 _ when chaining inferred locals
    let x ← 10
    let y ← 20
    let 求和 ← x + y
    print 求和

    # --- Reassign only 变量 bindings ---

    var _ nuntius ← "Salve"
    nuntius ← "Vale"
    print nuntius
}

Expected output:

0
1
11
Salve, Mundus!
30
Vale
