Cases where it is required are limited, but one example is BigInt. int x = 14; BigInt y = 3; x = x / y; // OK. x /= y; // No way to support this Applies to /= and %=.

I would also like this feature. One of the reason this is not supported, is that in fact int x = 14; BigInt y = 3; x = x/y; is, actually x = cast(int)(x/y); And there is no way to change type in opAssign (old opXXXAssign).
