Don't need to.

Remove the damn requirement to have to type "set" before every variable assignment.
The very similar looking language of Lingo removed this requirement in 1995. It's a shame that Apple can't handle this.
Why we have to actually tell AppleScript that x = 5 by typing "set x = 5" in 2014 is beyond me.
