I did show by example, that chaining "-" and "--" is not tolerable. An analog
example holds for "+" and "++". Its the burdon of the language designer to give
the ratio for allowing such constructs.

I agree, that our thinking differs.

Maybe its an urban legend that made it into a university. According to that
university talk in a fortran-program the space between the `for' and the
index-variable `i' was lost. Thereby declaring and assigning the variable
`fori' instead of introducing a loop---with fatal consequences for a
space-ship.
