Summary: In my opinion, the C-like prefix increment and decrement operators (++i and --i) should be marked as "syntax error".
This would give some weird assymetry:
>>> i = 1
>>> ++i
Traceback ( File "<interactive input>", line 1
++i
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
>>> --i
Traceback ( File "<interactive input>", line 1
--i
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
>>> +-i
-1
>>> -+i
-1
>>>Of course, anyone who writes +-i or -+i should probably be shot anyway. ;) I'm -0 on this.
