Sure, if you want to completely disregard all the cases where the 
symmetry does exist.

That means that for you, there is no interesting difference (using my 
example of assigning A to itself) in a language where you write 'A = A', 
and one where you write 'A = .A'.

(I'd be interested in how, in the latter language, you'd write the 
equivalent of 'A = A = A' in C, since the middle term is both on the 
left of '=', and on the right!)
