I confirm that '+=' looks better. But '+=" is technically broken.
a bit of my opinion: I think =+ will confuse far more people than + as last character of var name working weirdly. But I also think that + should be supported as last character. Therefore I propose backslash escaping in variable name, i.e. var+=value appends value to var, while var+=value sets variable with name "var+"

Also, I think that it would be better if spaces and tabs were allowed to indent the .env file, i.e.
var_a = 3 var_bcd = 7
should set "var_a" to "3", "var_bcd" to "7".
If special character are needed in either name or value, they could be escaped and/or quoted.
