May I beg to differ?
I would suggest many folk will find such an expression too cryptic,
especially when maintaining code written by others. It may be efficient,
it may be "elegant" - but is it easy to read and understand? Take a very
simple example:
a = a + 5; -or- a += 5;
Personal opinion: the former is more readily understood, the latter not
so, and open to miscoding (a =+ 5;). It is my experience that a majority
will favour readability in preference to "elegant" coding

BTW, I have wondered a lot why you guys have not yet implemented the C-like
expression as:
boolVal = (a = b ? 0: 1);
This is not only necessary for modern RPG but it should have been provided
long time ago! 🙂
