Useful feature for next version of C

A ->= operator, and possibly .=, which would make it easier to go through linked lists and other such structures with lots of pointers. Instead of writing

p = p -> next;

it can now be

p ->= next;

or, if you're working with binary trees, instead of


while(t && t->v != i)
 if(t->v < i)
  t = t -> l;
 else
  t = t -> r;

it becomes


while(t && t->v != i)
 t ->= (t->v < i) ? l : r;

I'm working on a C-like compiler and I thought this would be a good idea.

you don't put macros in macros, too.
This is what Ctards actually think.
In languages supporting real macros, you can have macros which write macros for you.
