Description

**Type of issue**: documentation

**Impact**: no functional change

**Development Phase**: request

**Other information**

I feel like I have been in several conversations lately about how confusing `:=` and `<>` are. And I'm not even 100% confident that I could explain what each does in every scenario. This seems like something that a few Scastie examples + DecoupledIOs could "put to rest" and we could capture them as a cookbook or explanation on the website.
