You seem to be implying that "foo++" means something other than "foo =
foo + 1" in C++. Hmm. Quoting "The C++ Programming Language, Special
Edition" by Stroustrup, section 6.2.5:

    By definition, "++lvalue" means "lvalue += 1", which again means
    "lvalue = lvalue + 1", provided "lvalue" has no side effects.

We've already agreed there is a difference between "I := I + 1" and
Inc (I) when "I" has side effects; what other differences are you
talking about here? Or is the side effects what you mean?
