What's the obvious way
to spell in-place set intersection, for example?
I would expect it to be &=,
That's my point -- once you know the binary operator for
an operation, the corresponding in-place operator is
obvious. But there's no established standard set of
method names for in-place operations -- each type
does its own thing.
You mean set.intersection_update? The in-place set methods are not hard
to remember, because they all end in _update.
For that particular type, maybe, but I wouldn't trust
that rule to extend to other types.
