Summary: a = b += c, a += b = c gives syntax error

Initial Comment:
The new augmented assignment operators apparently are
not syntactically parallel to the assignment operator.
I can't come up with an immediate reason why they
shouldn't be, and I would like them to be.

Python 2.2.1, Red Hat Linux 7.3

I looked in the release notes for Python 2.2.2, and
didn't see anything about this. I also searched the
open bug list for "assignment", and didn't see this
mentioned.
