+These methods are called to implement the augmented arithmetic operations
+(\code{+=}, \code{-=}, \code{*=}, \code{/=}, \code{\%=}, \code{**=},
+\code{<<=}, \code{>>=}, \code{\&=}, \code{\^=}, \code{|=}).  These methods
+should attempt to do the operation in-place (modifying \var{self}) and
+return the result (which could be, but does not have to be, \var{self}).  If
+a specific method is not defined, the augmented operation falls back to the
+normal methods.  For instance, to evaluate the expression
+\var{x}\code{+=}\var{y}, where \var{x} is an instance of a class that has an
+\method{__iadd__()} method, \code{\var{x}.__iadd__(\var{y})} is called.  If
+\var{x} is an instance of a class that does not define a \method{__iadd()}
+method, \code{\var{x}.__add__(\var{y})} and \code{\var{y}.__radd__(\var{x})}
+are considered, as with the evaluation of \var{x}\code{+}\var{y}.
