C++17 adds a sequence point to assignment. E1 = E2 requires E2 to be
completely evaluated first, then E1.

Wow, what a jaw-droppingly moronic moment in computing history.

They had the right motivation to fix a flaw, at least in one small area,
and establish an order where there is chaos.

Then they drop the ball by making it backwards.
