Consider:

a[fun] = gun;

Which should be evaluated first, fun() or gun()?

arra[i] = arrb[i++];

arra[i++] = arrb[i];

I'm not sure that such dependences are good code.

By stating a definite order between lvalue and rvalue, you would actually encourage this kind of code.

By not stating it, I introduce a gratuitous nonportability.
