You're kidding, right?  I was sure it wasn't _recommended_, but I
didn't know it was explicitly forbidden.

According to the rules of ordinal evaluation:

	[] binds first, left to right, so we have a[i].
	++ binds next, right to left, so i is now i+1.
	= binds last, right to left, so a[i] has the value i+1.

Of course, when compiled, the ++ gets eval'd *AFTER* the assignment
(StunOS 4.x standard compiler AND gcc do this -- is this right?).

I don't know a compiler that would reject the code.  Of course, that
speaks loudly for the state of education among compiler writers, I
suppose...
