Hello there!

I was wondering why += was overloaded to add an item to an array. a += b should always be the same as a = a + b in my opinion, but of course + isn't overloaded because that would not make any sense (as everyone rightfully expects both operands to be the same type when using +).

I'd like to hear your thoughts on this.

The syntax was borrowed from Python.
