Augmented assignment is currently all of these:

'<<=' | '>>=' | '\*\*=' | '//=')

I'm actually not sure whether the augmented-assignment-expression
operators should be "+:=" or ":+=", but either way, it'd be another
thirteen tokens, some of which would be \*four\* character tokens.

Or simply rework the augmented assignment's semantics to become expression operators without any syntactic changes. Since there's no bug magnet arising in the usual context where '=' and '==' get confused:
