Probably not. But you can rewrite:

a ~= stuff;

as:

a = a ~ stuff;

to make it work.
Is there any reason the first can't be a short-hand for the second?

Devil's advocate because I somewhat agree with you:  a = a ~ stuff; is so
inefficient that it should be ugly.

I'd call that a premature optimization of the programmer's behavior. :-)
