Hi,
Summary: In my opinion, the C-like prefix increment and decrement operators (++i and --i) should be marked as "syntax error".
We have a patch for increment and decrement operators in boo ( http://boo.codehaus.org/ ), along with an operator overloading syntax like below. See http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/BOO-223
