And I stand by that claim. One aspect that seems to have been forgotten
is that types usually implement either op= in terms of op or vice versa.
That savings alone is large.
This could have been done with a couple of stdlib mixins
"generateOpsFromOpAssign" and "generateOpAssignsFromOp".
The language definition would have stayed just as large.

Besides, I feel a double standard here. Why are mixins bad for
simplifying certain rarely-needed boilerplate, yet are just fine when
they supplant a poor design?
