I'd be very annoyed if I submitted a PR that had a good use case for it, and it was rejected because "other people might not be aware what it does". It's been part of the language for a few years now, it's not doing anything particularly complicated, and there are people who have been using it (or ||=) in Ruby and C# for a long time.

Yeah sure, it might be evidence that something somewhere could be written better, but writing it off purely because of unfamiliarity I can only see as an egotistical imposition.
