    The example of Mode shows that at least the same benefits can be obtained with only one additional operator (or actually pseudo-variable) as with a large number of assignment operators. In an assignment in Mode, the symbol ?*? may be freely used on the right-hand side to refer to the entity denoted by the lefthand side (its old value). This facility is indeed much more general than the operators of Algol 68, C, and C++. As an example:
        bucket.value (element) := */n + 1 - p/*;
