didn't you mean ++.

At first, I disliked this seemingly missing operator. However, I can
see where it leads to mistakes like in C. For example, an extra ++ can
cause some problems for sure. For Python, I am not sure what it means
to have unary operator that should act on pretty static things like
integers and in place. Besides,

| >>> len("i+=1") == len("i ++")
True
