[Python-ideas] Add .= as a method return value assignment operator

[Ken Hilton]

Hi Jasper,
This seems like a great idea! It looks so much cleaner, too.

Would there be a dunder method handling this? Or since it's explicitly just
a syntax for "obj = obj.method()" is that not necessary?
My only qualm is that this might get PHP users confused; that's really not
an issue, though, since Python is not PHP.

Anyway, I fully support this idea.

Sincerely,
Ken Hilton;
