Require assignment operator shorthand where possible.

JavaScript provides shorthand operators combining a variable assignment and simple mathematical operation.

a = a + 1;

Assignment (=) can be replaced with operator assignment +=.

> 1 │ a = a + 1;
^^^^^^^^^
2 │

Unsafe fix: Use += instead.

1 - a·=·a·+·1;
1+ a·+=·1;
2 2

a = a - 1;

Assignment (=) can be replaced with operator assignment -=.

> 1 │ a = a - 1;
^^^^^^^^^

Unsafe fix: Use -= instead.

1 - a·=·a·-·1;
1+ a·-=·1;

a = a * 1;

Assignment (=) can be replaced with operator assignment *=.

> 1 │ a = a * 1;
^^^^^^^^^

Unsafe fix: Use *= instead.

1 - a·=·a·*·1;
1+ a·*=·1;

a += 1;
a -= 1;
a *= 1;
