yes, but yes, you are right, there are also PropertyExpressions and ArrayExpressions... so I was narrowing it down too much.
And this applies to both the pre and postfix ++ operator? So ++i++ would also stop compiling?
yes
So the question could be rephrased as: is there any good usecase for ++ outside the increment of a variable? Like x = (((a * b)++)/c)--
yes... and that even if considering we call next() for ++. I could imagine some crazy DSL to use this... but should we still consider doing this breaking change?
