[New-bugs-announce] [issue41688] Document how **= does not fall back on **

[Brett Cannon]

New submission from Brett Cannon <brett at python.org>:

https://bugs.python.org/issue38302 covers fixing the fact that `a **= b` does not fall back on `a = a ** b` when `__ipow__` is defined for PYthon 3.10. For older versions of CPython with the bug we should document the slip in semantics.
