Anyone else thought they should've included these in the C/C++ standard? I mean, we already have += -= >>= and all the rest...

that's just syntactic sugar, and not used as much

Also less useful because generally a and a->b won't have the same type. I guess it'd be nice for cdring down a linked list, like list ->= next;

For linked lists, trees, and other linky structures, it's very useful. Wouldn't be hard to add to the parser either. I'm surprised GCC doesn't have them already.

WHY DONT U JUST USE SHORTER VARIABLE NAMES LIKE 'np'? DIS SHIT'S ONLY USEFUL FOR SELF-REFERENTIAL STRUCTURES.

It's not any worse than punning void pointers. Anyway mixed mode arithmetic allows you to do weird stuff too (consider
int i; double d; i *= d;).

->= would be useful.
.= however seems pretty pointless (ha) since you can't nest structures recursively.
