The gist of it is the user wrote =+ instead of +=. I wonder if we
should disallow during tokenization the sequence "=", "+", whitespace.
Surely it's not a formatting anyone would aim for, but instead a
misspelling of +=.

Is there a way for the lexer to check for the specific character
sequence '=', '+', whitespace and not others (e.g. '=', whitespace,
'+')? IOW, "a =+ b" will be prohibited, but "a = + b" will be allowed.
If so, I agree with this.
Yah, space is relevant there. That's why the check is easiest done
during tokenization. -- Andrei
