To ask your question another way, which statement best describes what is
happening ?

That is the more relevent question in my opinion (and it's just my opinion)

Sure you can scan for x++ more easily, but does that make for better code ?

I actually meant implied in the sense that it is not explicitly coded.

Why exactly would it be nice to have other than for scanning source code.
What does it *really Add* to the language ?

Cheers
