Neiter the language. The dot symbol is a delimiter in the python
grammar. Not an operator. And also defined as a delimiter in the
official documentation, right after operators.

Meanwhile augmented assignment is governed by the `augassign`
nonterminal. An addition to its list would result in a non backwards
compatible new syntactic sugar feature. This would mabe not be a big
issue between 3.X and 2.X, but would, I reckon, be against the
compatibility rules between 3.X versions.
