 ### In-place Operators
 
-A conforming implementation of the array API standard must provide and support
-an array object supporting the following in-place Python operators:
-
-- `+=`. May be implemented via `__iadd__`.
-- `-=`. May be implemented via `__isub__`.
-- `*=`. May be implemented via `__imul__`.
-- `/=`. May be implemented via `__itruediv__`.
-- `//=`. May be implemented via `__ifloordiv__`.
-- `**=`. May be implemented via `__ipow__`.
-- `@=`. May be implemented via `__imatmul__`.
-- `%=`. May be implemented via `__imod__`.
-- `&=`. May be implemented via `__iand__`.
-- `|=`. May be implemented via `__ior__`.
-- `^=`. May be implemented via `__ixor__`.
-- `<<=`. May be implemented via `__ilshift__`.
-- `>>=`. May be implemented via `__irshift__`.
-
-An in-place operation must not change the dtype or shape of the in-place array
-as a result of {ref}`type-promotion` or {ref}`broadcasting`.
-
-An in-place operation must have the same behavior (including special cases) as
-its respective binary (i.e., two operand, non-assignment) operation. For example,
-after in-place addition `x1 += x2`, the modified array `x1` must always equal the
-result of the equivalent binary arithmetic operation `x1 = x1 + x2`.
