*	This causes ccom to generate bogus instructions on the vax:

	float foo;	/* double works just as well */

	foo++;	/* the infamous incf instruction */
	foo--;	/* the infamous decf instruction */

Which Vax?  The 4.2BSD PCC does the ``right thing'' (generates an
addd2 instruction, with lots of conversions; ugly, but effective).
