"+=" is a bit confusing, but then I don't think it's more so than using

"+" as a string concatenation operator.



So please vote or propose an alternative:



0. a += 1;

1. a ++= 1;

2. a ++ 1;

3. a << 1;

4. a[] = 1;

5. a .= 1; (that would make more sense if "." meant concatenation in

swift).
