" Seems like a bug."
But note [U], p. 209:
" Finally,
local i++
will not increment the local macro i but instead redefines the local macro i
to contain ++."

Betreff: st: increment operator
Is the behaviour of the following to be expected?
local C = 0
forv i=1/10 {
di "`C'"
local C++
}
I know the increment operator is ++C, but inadvertently used this
instead and could not track down the error for quite a while, because
it even produced integer values in places. Seems like a bug.
Especially as trailing ++ is allowed in expansion operators:
local C=0
forv i=1/10 {
di "`C++'"
}
works just fine.
Jeph
