good point ;) I think is_ because

(1) We can think of the triple <T,U,R> of types that plus_assign *is*
applicable on.
(2) Each of those operations assigned to an operator can be decomposed

is_plus_assignable<T,U,R>

U *is* combinable to T and then the result *is* assignable to R

hmm, I don't think this is an option. We would break existing code.

once published as official boost library it's too late to change the naming.
