So would I. I don't care much for [+-*/]= as I too think it is ugly.
However using @ or a functional equivalent seems to be worthwhile. It
may make some code much more readable than it would otherwise be. I
don't know if safety critical applications would want to use it, but it
would be simple to expand the @s before using the source.

So count me in on those who prefer a := @ + 1; over a += 1;
