One problem is that '^' & '^=' is already used as the exclusive OR 
operator in programming languages such as: C, Java, JavaScript, and 
Python.  See:

    https://www.tutorialspoint.com/java/java_basic_operators.htm

    https://www.tutorialspoint.com/cprogramming/c_operators.htm

    https://docs.python.org/3/library/operator.html

    https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Guide/Expressions_and_Operators

Please don't confuse people unnecessarily!


Cheers,
Gavin
