So I reached to Andrei to know the exact details. It turns out this is a point
where Andrei and Walter are not in agreement.

Andrei advocate for LTR all the way down (as SDC do) and Walter does seems to
be inclined to specify it precisely for calls.

Anyway, as per spec, a += k is rewritten as

a = cast(typeof(a)) (a + k);

See http://dlang.org/expression.html, Assignment Operator Expressions for
reference.

So I think that, even by Walter's standards, as this is not a call, this should
be well defined.

I opened a thread on the newgroup:
