This is of course then not really true in a wider sense, as an example 
from "T J" shows:

a = 1
a += IGNORE(3)
# -> a := a + IGNORE(3)
# -> a := IGNORE(4)
# -> a == IGNORE(1)

which is different from

a = 1 + IGNORE(3)
# -> a == IGNORE(4)

Damn, it seemed so good. Probably anything expect destructive assignment 
leads to problems like this with propagating special values.
