There are only one way to add "+=" (into ada and other languages) i
would like:
we should have something like this or language will be incomplete


procedure inc(in out a:integer;in b:integer);infix;
-- procedure-operator should always have zero priority(like :=)
function and(in a,b:integer):integer;infix priority=2;
--(same priority as "*")
--infix function does not allowed to change operands

(if we don't have this already ;-)

and then 

a inc b and (c+d);

We should be allowed to have infix operators,then we will be able to
add
z juliafractal c;

in any case it's not a very big advantage for readability.IMO it's
less readable,like notation without () . And i don't really need
it.But i think += without it is bad idea.

In math there are currently does not allowed to add new infix
functions to +-*/
.
