To expand on this point slightly, because of common C++ idioms guided by
efficiency, I would be much more likely to think of 'a + b' as 'temp =
a, temp += b, temp' than the Python way: in other words, to the extent
that I think of += and + being implemented in terms of each other, I
think of + as being implemented via +=.
