Since you have already pointed out that these other languages have no
concept of "a number without a value", as is the case of an empty
numeric field in filePro (which is what we're talking about here),
how can you say that filePro's meaning is "something other than what
every other programming language ... defines it to mean"?

Please give me a specific example of how filePro's meaning of "="
(or whatever token you wish to use) is different from the other
programming languages you listed.

You haven't explained how filePro's "algebraic equals" is different
from other languages.
