So, instead of something like this:

Code:

variable := variable + 1;

  -- or --

variable := variable - 1;

You'd have:

Code:

variable++;

  -- or --

variable--;

This makes a lot of sense in loops as well. For example:

Code:

EXPORT whatever()
BEGIN
  LOCAL n := 10;
  WHILE n > 1 DO
    n := n - 1;
    DoSomethingWith(n);
  END;
END;

would become:

Code:

EXPORT whatever()
BEGIN
  LOCAL n := 10;
  WHILE --n DO DoSomethingWith(n); END;
END;

Disagree
Just learn the new language
There are far more important issues to deal with
AND
I'm generally against the idea anyway. sorry...

besides you have the FOR loop for that already
