Added proposal for augmented assignment with +.=, /.= etc. following the discussion in #113

Thanks for writing it up!

In order for this proposal to have a chance, in my opinion we have to address existing and past committee criticisms.

You should reference previous proposals, I think there were some.

And then we need to go into the J3 mailinglist (I added a link in one of the comments in #113), and address every objection. Otherwise the same objections will be given and the proposal rejected.

@certik I updated the proposal by adding a discussion for the major objections.

@ivan-pi I added something similar to the proposal.

Thanks! Do you want me to merge it and do you want to submit it for the next committee meet?

Leonard-Reuter commented 1 year ago

@certik Yes, that'd be great =) Thank you
