That's fine as long as it's done with adequate discipline

        i += 2; /* add one more bloofus to i */

  Gotta add a couple of words explaining
  the *context* - WHY you are incrementing
  the var by 2, not one or three. Did a
  recent little app where you needed to inc
  by two ... and the comment explained why.

  Oh, I usually write "i=i+2". It's a bit more
  clear and becomes the same code anyway. +=
  is more a 'C' thing.
