Follow-up Comment #21:

@jwe: I like your proposition in comment #17.
That logic will probably succeed for most use cases.

We could treat `a -= b` (which is a command in Matlab, but an assignment in
Octave) as a known incompatibility.
There is syntax that will work the same in both Matlab and in Octave (i.e.
using the function syntax): `a ('-=', 'b')`. That is arguably clearer anyway.

Should we use the same logic for Octave's unary appended operators?
