Yep, I can imagine it would work really well, if the front-end

the logic to factor out redundant inc/dec ref's.
It isn't the best idea to do this sort of optimizations
(entirely) in the front-end, because you really want to be able
to aggressively optimize away such redundant operations after
inlining at what previously were function boundaries.
But then again, if you use AST-based inlining like DMD does, it
might just work… ;)
