It seems a logical extension also to say

      $fh.pos += 10`bytes

as shorthand for 

      $fh.pos = $fh.cur + 10`bytes

Likewise for -=

But then that begs the questions of *= (not too nuts), /= (same),
%= (great for fixed length records?) and the predictable other host of
operators.

Am I reaching?
