<nitpick>But ``+=`` does rebind.</nitpick>

Doesn't matter in this case but we've had confused programmers asking
questions here when `L` is a class attribute and it's rebound to the
instance, or if they tried it on a list in a tuple.  Extending a list
that's a read only property doesn't work either.
