st: increment operator

[Jeph Herrin <junk@spandrel.net>]

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.
