But the point is that with ++, I don&#x27;t have to look <i>at all</i> at the increment - I know what it is.  The issue isn&#x27;t how far away I have to look, it&#x27;s that I have to look <i>at all</i>.  (Or I don&#x27;t look, and just assume that it&#x27;s an add-one because that&#x27;s what it always is, and then wonder why my loop doesn&#x27;t work right.)
