Why not just..

class Foo
{
private:
     int mx;
public:
     int x.opGet() { return mx; }
     void x.opSet(int i) { mx = i; }
     void x.opInc() { mx++; }
}

or instead...

class Foo
{
private:
     int mx;
public:
     int x:opGet() { return mx; }
     void x:opSet(int i) { mx = i; }
     void x:opInc() { mx++; }
}

So that

foo.x++;

Would be compiled as

foo.x.opInc();

In the same way

foo++;

Would is compiled as

foo.opInc();
