Compound Dereference Operators

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


a .= b /* a = a.b */
a ->= b /* a = a->b */

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;
