I guess we have different intuition.

This is rather shallow issue, which any modern IDE would highlight for
you in about 0.5 seconds. No need to change the language for that.
Frankly, I have hard time remembering when any of such typos ever get
past IDE check since I started using IDEs.
And, of course, it's completely obvious issue - you could as well forget
to write $i++ at all, or write $j++ and have $j defined somewhere...
there's a lot of artificial scenarios one could think of. No reason to
change rules of the whole language because of it.
