The following code:

bool x, y;
if(x = y) {}

results in the following error:

Error: '=' does not give a boolean result

Which is clearly not a correct message.  A better message would be something like:

Error: '=' cannot be used inside an if condition

Be careful with the wording, because this is allowed in D:
if(bool c = !b)

Writing a compiler requires literary expression skills :-)

A possible error message, that looks too much complex:
Error: if(x = y) is now allowed, use if(T x = y) or if((x = y) == z).
