Disable the no-multi-assign rule

There is a proposal to disable the no-multi-assign rule.

no-multi-assign: again, single liners can keep the code cleaner and faster to read.

Chaining the assignment of variables can lead to unexpected results and be difficult to read.

(function() {
    const foo = bar = 0; // Did you mean `foo = bar == 0`?
    bar = 1;             // This will not fail since `bar` is not constant.
})();

console.log(bar);
// 1

Please see the documentation of the rule.

Curious to see some examples from project code where multi-assign was actually preferable.

I can't imagine that assigning the same number, string or boolean would happen that often ? Potentially only when resetting values to their empty state (0, '', false, null, undefined)?

And then, how often those cases would occur (and thus could be solved by a disable-line in those cases).
