Yes.

As long as it doesn't return a value :-)

I might prefer a more longhand shorthand :-), e.g.

    X'Increment;                        -- (X names object of integer type)
    X'Increase (By => 1.23);     -- (X names object of any numeric type,
here a FP type)
    etc...

No new syntax required...
