Any opinions about adding a Ruby-like ||= operator to EcmaScript?

For me, that syntax suggests strongly: Assign `value` to `obj.property` if  `obj.property` is falsy. I'd rather want to write:

    obj.property ??= value

where `??` could also be used as binary operator with the semantics you've guessed.
