I'm fine with making the front end smarter. Note that if either side of
the assignment is of floating-point type, you need to keep the existing
logic; if you're adding to / subtracting from a pointer, you need to
ensure the multiplication by the size of the pointer target type still
occurs; and if the arithmetic operation might be sanitized, you probably
need to keep the existing logic as well (but otherwise, if the
__atomic_fetch_* operations never have undefined overflow, it should be
safe to do the operation in the type of the LHS).
