	Well, sometimes the comma operator _is_ nice, in my opinion.
Consider the following example:

	foo = 0;
	bar = 0;
	for (i=0; i < burp; i++) {
		rotten_action(foo, bar);
		foo++;
		bar++;
	}

Using the comma operator here produces quite readable result:

	for (foo=0, bar=0, i=0; i < burp; i++, foo++, bar++)
		rotten_action(foo, bar);

But, ah well, I can already imagine the 2<<15 flames I'm gonna receive :-).
