In article <6667@brl-smoke.ARPA> gwyn@brl-smoke.ARPA (Doug Gwyn) points out:

[is `i = +1;' where `+' is unary plus]

Yoonerry plus?  We don't need no steenkeng yoonerry plus!  :-)

We do not (yet) have plans for a fully ANSI-draft-compatible compiler
(though I will mention gcc here, like so: `gcc').  Unary plus might
get in, or might not.  (And we might be further along if I did not
waste all this time on netnoise.)  (On the other hand, I hardly ever
do anything to the compiler myself anyway---Donn Seeley does all
the real work.)
