Guys, thanks for extremely illuminating discussion!  I always liked  
'<-' more than '=' and am staunchly typing it.  And of course there's  
a -> form.  This is beautifully asymmetric.  Now I can type <- in  
Emacs with '_' (in ESS) and in R.app with ⌥-.  (Now if only I find  
how to do it in TextMate!...  :)

Cheers,
Alexy
