Subject: Re: Why no ++ and --?

I don't think there is any problem in implementation, but choosing a 
subset of useful features is more important. Any language that want to 
have every feature will surely fail, think about D.

I wish ++ can be added as a binary operator like it is in Haskell, not 
the self-increamental one.
