If there's some technical or performance reason for getting rid of this as far as the swift compiler goes, then I guess whatever just tell me how to increment a number and that's what I'll do. But to try to say that x++ is complicated to understand? It's no more complicated than a lot of operations. I don't think anyone would intuit what x%2 means either. There are things that you can get just by looking at it, and others that you just have to learn once, then you go "oh, that's what it does" and move on.
