Sounds like you want two operators; `||=` for the compound assignment
case and `||==` and `||===` for the "compare the RHS to the LHS of the
last `===` or `==` op", or something like that. Defining a single op
for both of these cases is likely to lead to ambiguity.

The `||=` (and `&&=`) case has been discussed a couple of times, look
in the esdiscuss archives.
I'm sure something like `||==` has been discussed too though I don't
recall it myself. I tend to use switches myself for this in case perf
is an issue.
