Some of us find it clearer to treat ++ and -- unary operators the same
way as other unary operators, namely apply them from the left:
	!x	not	x!
	++x	not	x++
This is a matter of style, but that does not mean that it is arbitrary.
(Although in this case I would say that it doesn't matter a whole lot.)
