Yes, I agree.  My experiences have proven to me that if it isn't 
comprehensible later, you can't maintain it (or it is hard to fix 
quickly in an emergency). For example, I still prefer INC/DEC instead 
of i++ etc. If I wanted to write C, I'd buy a C compiler and use it. 
The reasons for adding the C-like shortcuts clearly have some benefits, 
but I prefer  to make my code clear to these tired eyes.

Thanks for sharing Michael.
