At the moment, we can write
$env.foo = $env.bar = "baz"
and even
let $foo = let $bar = "baz"
without any warning, but the resulting values are
$env.foo == null
$env.bar == "baz"
which is most likely not what was expected.
I think this should be reported as a warning (or even an error if there are no actual use cases for this syntax).
