This is a very weird and uncommon piece of code. If it's indeed correct
(which I doubt - do you want to increment it by two?) then a more common &
understandable way to write it would have been
$x = $a[$i], $i+=2.
Saving an extra expression by adding the ultra-obscure ++$i++ is a definite
'no'. There's no logical behavior that would be both pre- and
post-increment, which is implied by this weird notation...
