Am I? I was keeping out of this one!
It was a different thread discussing the same subject where I saw your
comment about stricter token parsing.
About the only other thing I'd say (more than 30 years too late) is that
even when the ++ and -- operators weren't implemented, the tokenizer
really should always have recognised them
So they would always have been an error? What's the benefit of that? If
you're not going to implement pre/post inc/dec, why should ++10 be an
error instead of two unary plus operators?
