Things like += and .= are mainly a convenience for comprehension. Using += the LHS is mentioned only once (LHS += RHS rather than LHS = LHS + RHS), and mentioning something once only is easier to understand (if the programmer is familiar with the operator). There may be some theoretical efficiency advantage of one over the other, but that is inconsequential. John -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist. Do not top-post!
