Observation Nr. 1
People prefer to write var++ instead of ++var.
Observation Nr. 2
Because of observation Nr. 1 and other reasons compilers became
good at removing code that is not needed making var++ and ++var
to produce the same code if returned value is not used.
Observation Nr. 3
Because of observation Nr. 2 more people use var++ in place where
they really only need ++var.
Observation Nr. 4
Because of observation Nr. 3 people learning to program may
mistakenly learn that var++ is just incrementing. (I am included
in that list)
Observation Nr. 5
Because of observation Nr. 4 people can write slower than
necessary code for classes with overloaded operator or even get
bugs.
Because of all this why not make only one increment/decrement
operator and have post increment/decrement to be called by
template name, because it is a template?
template post_inc(T) {
auto tmp = T;
T++;
return tmp;
}
