As I said before, I support this. The whole thing feels like a
no-brainer in terms of implementing it.
Davey mentioned on twitter[1] the idea of shortening it to
X ?= Y,
but I think that would be inconsistent with other operators (e.g. *=
versus **=) and would complicate further evolutions of syntax such as
adding the X ?:= Y assignment operator (as shorthand for `X = X ?:
Y`).
