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 +=.

Seems like a really, really small fish to catch. I wouldn't 
want to
litter my codebase with those kind of rules.

I don't see what litter one would need you add to one's 
codebase?

I was speaking from the perspective of whoever maintains/wrote 
the tokenizer.
