*All* generalizations are bad.

This little wart of idiomatic postIncr extended from primitives 
(where it didn't really matter) to object types (where it does
matter) shouldn't be generalized to all operators.

(and the other "wart" about overloading << and >> for streams
 in C++ is just subjective judgement.  I don't find it all that
 bad, myself. It fits well to the look of the symbol indicating
 direction of data-flow, unlike e.g. mathematical ops, which
 are "just" convention. )

Maybe Java just isn't for the masses -- they all have their 
own mind on coding, not adhering to my own.    (*irony*)
