Well, at least, a warning should be generated when simulating.
I used augmented assignment inadvertently in a module. I made all the 
development with it without any problem. Then I got an error when 
converting. At first, this was a big surprise. I quickly found (and 
understood) the source of the problem but I would have preferred to be 
aware of the problem during simulation.
At first, I don't see any useful case of augmenting next attribute, even 
in simulation.
