I think in this context it's more or less harmless. One can do:

vector<int> v; v += 1, 2, 3;

but the += operator is only defined for specific containers, and it's not defined for vector by default. So there's little risk that user will inadvertently use it, meaning something else.

I was worried more (only) about the order of evaluation. If I understand correctly, if I call: v += foo(), bar(); the code will be same as: operator,(operator+=(v, foo()), bar()); so the order of executing foo() and bar() is unspecified. This might surprise the user. Andrei
