Description
When using a definition wrapping function via `lively.ast.capturing.rewriteToCaptureTopLevelVariables(..., {declarationWrapper: astForDeclFunc})` then simple assignments are correctly wrapped:
`i = i+1` becomes `_rec.i = _rec._define('i', 'assignment', _rec.i + 1, _rec);`
However, expressions like `i++` or `i+=1` aren't correctly identified as modifications and not wrapped.
Fix that!

Research direction
Start with lively.ast.capturing.rewriteToCaptureTopLevelVariables and inspect how declarationWrapper handles assignment expressions. Compare the existing simple-assignment transformation with update expressions such as i++ and compound assignments such as i+=1. Done means both forms are identified as modifications and wrapped consistently with the shown assignment example.
