From the book thegnumakebook, page 126, The Twilight Zone:

It’s possible to take definitions like $( ) and $(\n) and go much further, defining variables with names like =, # or :

I think, = is just some other variable. Here, $= implies, expanding the variable =.

And := is used for simple assignment (Evaluated only once).
