#pike doesn't solve compatibility issues, it only makes it easier to cope with them. In the case of `-= it'd probably not be a significant problem, but I wouldn't like to see e.g. =! as a new token, #pike notwithstanding.

Anybody using
int `-=7;
in their code deserve having it broken. However, using #pike, it shouldn't be a problem implementing new tokens whenever. Backwards compaibility is king, and #pike is the way to maintain it.
