It doesn't make anything more efficient, however all of the suggestions 
of how to do it with current syntax (mostly decorators) _do_ make things 
less efficient.

So rather than a win/win as with current augmented assignment 
(compact/clearer code *and* potentially a performance improvement), it's 
now a tradeoff (wordy code *or* a performance reduction).
