This is rather shallow issue, which any modern IDE would highlight for you in about 0.5 seconds. No need to change the language for that. Frankly, I have hard time remembering when any of such typos ever get past IDE check since I started using IDEs. And, of course, it's completely obvious issue - you could as well forget to write $i++ at all, or write $j++ and have $j defined somewhere... there's a lot of artificial scenarios one could think of. No reason to change rules of the whole language because of it. -- Stas Malyshev smalyshev@gmail.com
