Semantically, it's not the same, but
a += b
can be replaced by
inc ( a, b ) ;
It's readable, it looks like normal standard Pascal; and it's clear that the
address of a is
calculated only once.
If a,b are not ordinals, inc could be overloaded.

No, I simply prefer to use += and -= because it is easier to read the
code (for me at least). But with the added restrictions applied in
recent FPC releases (eg: those shortcuts don't work with properties any
more) I am slowly forced to move back to the verbose a := a + b syntax.
