In-place binary assignment operator
There are a number operators and functions that combine assignment with some sort of binary operator.
Sometimes a value is returned before the assignment occurs. When there is an operator for this, the operator is a prefix operator and the function name starts with Pre.
Sometimes the binary operation occurs first, and then the assignment occurs. When there is an operator for this, the operator is a postfix operator.
Infix operators combined with assignment end in By, From, or To.
