RE: C style assignment of variable values

Resounding yes to increment operators. 

I think we could avoid confusion by limiting it to postfix only.  We don't
want to get to the stage where RPG training includes exercises where the
student has to figure out what single lines of code do.  

More C class memories--we were allowed to bring a table of operator
precedence to all tests.  (I know, the teacher was kind of soft on us.)
