[swift-evolution] ++ and --

[Ergin Bilgin]

    First of all, I am not a big fan of removal of "++" operator. Still,
"+= 1" has the same performance with "++" but since I like the comfort of
writing just "++", I will just write an extension when Swift 3 will be
released. I know many people who will do the same.
