Caret assignment operator not valid

[TwitchBronBron]

The caret equals (^=) operator was added to brs in this commit.

This does not appear to be valid brightscript. I can't find any reference in the docs, and it also produces a syntax error when compiling on a Roku device. I believe the ^= assignment operator should be removed?

Here's a test file you can run on a Roku device which proves the code does not compile.

function Main()
   age = 10
   age ^= 2
   print age
end function

Oh dang I must have mentally added it to the list from sdkdocs: https://sdkdocs.roku.com/display/sdkdoc/Expressions%2C+Variables%2C+and+Types#Expressions,Variables,andTypes-MathematicalandBitshiftAssignmentOperators

Great catch!
