How about
increment copyto obj
Then lhs and rhs are switched, though. What is the best description of what
this operator does? “Copy the own properties of an increment to an object”?
Whatever word(s) are chosen as an infix operator should reflect such a
description. “Extend” and even “increment” do not sound descriptive enough to
me.
More ideas:
obj <-copy- increment
obj from increment
obj loads increment
obj imports increment
increment to obj
increment increments obj
increment overrides obj
