Do we want to do this now, or should we potentially wait a release-cycle
with it (to prevent the situation where v + e and v+= e means something
different).
Looking at the emails I am generally not 100% sure if we reached consensus
on this one.

Yup.

They were contained in the "minimal" list that Jon came up with. I think I
would be ok with them, but they did not really get any discussion
afterwards that I can see.
