If implementing ++ requires changes to the parser, that seems like a
pretty technical limitation to me! :)

Matter of interpretation?

BTW in all your posts on the topic, you don't seem to address pre-
increment vs post-incrememt.  (Forgive me if I'm wrong.)  If Ruby
implemented ++ and didn't address that, it wouldn't be C or C++
semantics at all.
