Ok, the explanations are very understandable.


Yet, from the "parsing" point of view (excuse the potential improper use
of this term), if `counter += 1' is effectively shorthand for `counter =
counter + 1', why `counter ++' could not be shortand for `counter += 1'?

If this is done early enough in the code, I think this should be possible?


Yet, maybe this introduces a dirty special case in the code.
