I think it is not a good idea to use two different operators for the
same appand operation, just to add a space in one case.

So assume I want to start the appended part with a TAB character,
would we define another operator then?

We have problems with escaping characters for the variable _name_
part, but not for the value. We can for example use standard shell
escape rules, like:

	foo += bar
	foo += \ bar
	foo += ' bar'

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
