[issue17973] FAQ entry for: '+=' on a list inside tuple both succeeds and raises an exception

[Ronald Oussoren]

Ronald Oussoren added the comment:

I agree that there's probably no good solution here.

Catching TypeError would require emitting a lot more byte code, and would change the semantics of augmented assignment, in particular it wouldn't really be an assignment statement anymore (and hides some flow control).
