I've been saying for some time now that .= should mean exactly what one would expect
it to mean, method call and assign the result, for code like

$str .= lc;
$linkedlist .= next;
$structure .= clone(deep => 1);

and such things.  Really, making it mean anything else (including nothing at all)
would be counterintuitive.
