Call me a dinosaur (and you probably will :-), and I certainly don't mean
to rain on anyone's parade, but IMHO these are syntaxes which I will
probably never use.

On the one hand, we're all grateful for the RPG enhancements that allow us
to enter nice long variable names, and we're happy that we can now mix
upper and lower case and give the shift key a workout, but somehow we
can't abide the notion of having to type:

a = a + b

and instead are begging to be able to limit ourselves to

a += b

Personally, I don't see the point (won't be the first time ;-).
