While I am not necessarily against this idea, I do wonder if it’s worth making
what’s going on here less obvious simply for the sake of being able to omit a
six character keyword. As I understand it, one of the reasons ++/-- were
removed was due to the increased "burden to learn Swift as a first programming
language.” This is the sort of thing that becomes another one of those special
cases that has to be explained to someone new to Swift.
