Research direction

Start in fluent/handler.py at the FluentRecordFormatter formatting branch shown in the issue. Check the surrounding formatting behavior, make the augmented-assignment change while preserving the result, and verify the formatter still handles record dictionaries and missing keys as before.

Description

👀 Some source code analysis tools can help to find opportunities for improving software components.
💭 I propose to increase the usage of augmented assignment statements accordingly.
