IIRC, there's a DIP for trying to make += work with just

Yes, the DIP is here: https://github.com/dlang/DIPs/pull/97
It's currently stalled while I elaborate on the merits, or lack
thereof, of a library solution. The best library implementation
I've seen is

I'm exploring the idea of continuing with the DIP, or adding
features (or removing limitations of the language) to make a
library implementation more appealing. IMO, it'd be great if we
could add more composable primitives to the language, and get rid
of quirky features like @property.
