Why? Nim programmers should write Nim code that we compile to JS, not JS code.

For interop purposes with the browser, it is useful for big heavy objects. I mean there's emit for C targets and people don't go emit'ing whole modules.

@Araq Would you prefer to use a name like andAssign instead of &&= ? 🤔

No, I don't get the point at all, it's not about the name. Javascript uses + for string concats, should we also import its plus operator then? It just makes no sense...
