Seems questionable to me. Anyone know the rationale?

I actually agree it is a bit questionable, but I think the difference is += is, conceptually at least, atomic - it is a single function, append() instead of two calls, set(calculate()).

Isn't that a compiler implementation detail though?

I always considered a+=b as a shorthand for a=a+b so I find this surprising and a bit confusing.

Maybe I need to revise my thinking on this :)
