Not quite. Augmented assignment operators were added in Python 2.0 according to What's New, and they were quite controversial (== Guido didn't like them) at the time. In that respect, Mikhail is in good company (perhaps for different reasons). But Guido did accept them, and they are immoveable at this point in time.
