Summary: In my opinion, the C-like prefix
increment and decrement operators (++i and --i)
should be marked as "syntax error".

This would give some weird assymetry:

>>> i = 1
>>> ++i
Traceback (  File "<interactive input>", line 1
    ++i
      ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
>>> --i
Traceback (  File "<interactive input>", line 1
    --i
      ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
>>> +-i
-1
>>> -+i
-1
>>>

Of course, anyone who writes +-i or -+i should probably be shot anyway. ;) I'm -0 on this.
