Regarding properties and operator+= and -= - wouldn't those two also require special treatment (as operations distinct from just "access" and "mutate") because it could be an event, not a property?

Yes, like I mentioned in this paragraph:

"Lastly, note that the compiler knows that if you're doing something like d.Foo += x, and at runtime d.Foo binds to a delegate type or an event type, then the correct combine/add call will be invoked for you."

We'll treat these guys distinctly. Currently the architecture is such that the DLR has a special payload kind for compound operators, so we can encode the thing as one site. So for example, d.Foo += 1 would be encoded in one single site that knows the receiver is d, and that we're doing a member access for "Foo", with the += operation and 1 as the value.
