I like Erin's ++ and -- function/operators - very cool!
Or the KISS method...

Subject: [REBOL] Re: [REBOL]
I've found the attached REBOL library useful for things like
this. It's overkill if you just want to use it for dates, but
it can be used for a lot of other values.

REBOL [
Title: "Increment and Decrement (++) and (--) Functions"
File: %word-gradation.r
Author: "EAT"
Date: 16-Feb-2000
Purpose: {Provide polymorphic ++ and -- gradation functions.}
Usage: {
Increment or decrement the value of a word by using the word
as the argument to ++ or --.
Examples:
int: 1
probe ++ int
block: [a b c d e f g]
probe ++ block
money: $1.00
++ money
time: 11:11:11
--/skip time (60 * 60) ; hourly decrement
}
