Yeah, it's a little confusing, but at the language level, something
that doesn't support |= will implicitly support it using the expanded
version:

a |= b
a = a | b

and in the section above, you can see that frozensets DO support the
Or operator.

By not having specific behaviour on the |= operator, frozensets
implicitly fall back on this default.
