With the availability of new forms, thus increases the
probability that said forms will be used on larger projects.
There are probably something like a dozen ways to construct
a loop in lisp, for example. At least one won't talk about
the relative paucity of flow control forms for Lisp, I suppose.

Anyway, the more constructs, the longer to learn.

I doubt augmented assignment will create a problem, however.
