"update an object with another" (dunder update)
Yes, that's essentially what I meant. To me, "assign an object in place" and "update an object with another" mean the same thing.
A few come to mind: my_dict.update
This is PEP 584, where += is used
my_gen.send
Sure, this makes sense to me!
my_list.append
I disagree because this keeps the contents of the old list.
my_list.extend
This should just be a generalization of the += operator.
my_stream.write
I'm not convinced. If you have an operator for writing, you expect an operator for reading too. But then, the analogy with += breaks down for me.
