Sorry, I don't understand what you mean.

The thing is, you find this syntax attractive and suddenly you'd like
to have this feature. But that's not the problem, we are (well, I for
one :) not proposing this feature, and we are precisely debating about
the fact that supporting this syntax gives the wrong idea that there
is some feature behind.
This is why I had forbidden user variables first set by `+=': there
cannot be any confusion. And now that I rediscovered why it was this
way, I think we should keep it this way.
