Attached patch implements this idea.  With the patch applied:

>>> from numpy import *
>>> x =3D array(5)
>>> add(x,5,x)
array(10)
>>> x+=3D5
>>> x
array(15)

The patch passes all the tests, but I would like to hear from others
before commit.  Personally, I am unhappy that I had to change C-API
function.
