This throws the below assertion error:

    string[]@ arr;
    while (false && (@arr = cast<array<string>>(null) !is null)) {
        break;
    }

which can be avoided/fixed by adding parens around the assignment like so:

    string[]@ arr;
    while (false && ((@arr = cast<array<string>>(null)) !is null)) {
        break;
    }

Thanks, I'll investigate and fix this

I've fixed this in rev 2868.
