Actually, it doesn't make sense. C++ increments C, but returns the value  
that C was before the increment. So it returns a temporary. Incrementing a  
temporary is not allowed (where would the incremented value go?), and even  
if it were allowed, would likely not be what you want ;)

++++C may be valid, but is butt-ugly.

C+=2 is just far superior on all fronts!
