Yes, maybe you're missing that I support a unary ++ operator :)

I can see the wisdom in not having it there to begin with though.  I see the
++ operator as something almost inextricably tied to for loops in C.  Ruby
provides better looping mechanisms, like the various Enumerable methods that
take blocks!  Perhaps Matz didn't include a unary ++ operator as
encouragement to use better looping constructs in your code.  If that's the
case, I think he certainly succeeded.
