Agreed. Anything else violates the principle of least surprise. Mind you, this is only true for numerics, where the concept of "1" potentially has meaning. For non-numerics, something closer to "the next item in the series" is a reasonable fall-back definition, assuming that we define the operator at all. So if '++' works on strings, it might be reasonable to have "bob"++ == "boc". -- Jonathan "Dataweaver" Lang
