Nobody has made that argument.

I just like the idea of being able to express:

i < n && n < x

in a mathmatically concise manner:

i < n < x

As with a lot of syntax in programming languages, of course it 
can be misused, and it also may require mental effort to master.

btw. C is no stranger to the concept of 'conciseness' ;-)
