|How does one increment x + y (as in ++(x+y)) or m + 4 (as in ++(m+4))? 

Clearly, in the case ++(m+4), one increments `m' (the only lvalue); in
the case of ++(x+y), one increments either x or y, randomly chosen (if
they are integers); if they are floating-point numbers, one increments 
each by 1/2.  :-)
