@Michael : I'm not sure to understand what you mean.
The "&=3D" operator does a bitwise AND. But if it was an
assignment-by-reference operator, maybe an assignment-by-cloning operator
would have seemed a good idea?

Some people write code using "=3D&" like a dedicated operator. For example:
   $i =3D 3;
   $j =3D& $i;

(yes, I know they should write "$j =3D &$i;")

It would be an "inverted equivalent" if we were able to write :
   $i =3D new Int(3);
   $j :=3D $i;
