RE: [sv-bc] Question re. new ++ and -- operators

Nikhil,
 I believe it is legal to use that form without the whitespaces.
   j = i+++(...) results in the same as j = i++ + (..)
 However you raise a good point, specially for readability
purposes to require white space.

Subject: [sv-bc] Question re. new ++ and -- operators

Can the new '++' and '--' operators be followed immediately by another
operator, without whitespace?

E.g., the example on page 65 (just before 7.4) is:

     j = i++ + (...)

Would it be legal to say this without the whitespaces?

     j = i+++(...)

Advantage of requiring whitespace: more readable, and allows future
addition of a '+++' operator without breaking existing code.
