often that (valid) complaint is to do with stuff like:

Myvar = *myptr++

Ie where assigns or data retrieval and increments happen are combined  on
the same line. 
I do think if ++ -- etc are added to the language, it should only permit
increments etc on separate lines. Otherwise it does as you say lead to very
unreadable code. 

I would not want to see stuff like

Myvar = anothervar++

But: 

 mycounter++

Or

 myvar += 2 

Are perfectly readable.
