missing ->= operator

[Schuller Schuller Oijen]

Hi all,
recently I've been doing a lot of C pointer programming and I came upon
a missing feature in C. Suppose you have this struct called mygod :
	typedef struct mygod
	{
		int value;
		struct mygod *next;
	} mygod_struct
What you do quite often is : mygodptr = mygodptr->next;
Now C has all these wonderful operators : a += 7, g &= 0xf, etc, etc.
But the ->= operator is missing! You cannot do mygodptr ->= next; !
All of you who want to fill this gap, please react. Flames to /dev/null.
