+/* Binary in-place operators */
+
+/* The in-place operators are defined to fall back to the 'normal',
+   non in-place operations, if the in-place methods are not in place, and to
+   take class instances into account. This is how it is supposed to work:
+
+   - If the left-hand-side object (the first argument) is an
+     instance object, try to let PyInstance_HalfBinOp() handle it.  Pass the
+     non in-place variant of the function as callback, because it will only
+     be used if the left-hand object is changed by coercion.
+
+   - Otherwise, if the left hand object is not an instance object, it has
+     the appropriate struct members, and they are filled, call the
+     appropriate function and return the result. No coercion is done on the
+     arguments; the left-hand object is the one the operation is performed
+     on, and it's up to the function to deal with the right-hand object.
+     
+   - Otherwise, in-place modification is not supported. Handle it exactly as
+     a non in-place operation of the same kind:
+
+     - If either object is an instance, let PyInstance_DoBinOp() handle it.
+     
+     - Otherwise, both arguments are C types. If the left-hand object has
+       the appropriate struct members filled, coerce, call the
+       appropriate function, and return the result.
+  
+     - Otherwise, we are out of options: raise a type error specific to
+       augmented assignment.
