While we're on wishes...

I'd like x++ and x-- to be equivalent to x +=1 and x -=1.  I keep using
them automatically without thinking - what comes from a past using C and
enhanced Psion OPL!

And from even further back in my programming history, but something I've
missed since using Algol -

for i = {1,4,5.6,e/2, sin(theta)} do
        (something with i)
next

which then does the loop for the values in the sequence, one at a time.
This is actually not quite the same as

s = {1,4,5.6,e/2,sin(theta) }
for i=1 to 5 do
        (something with s[i])
next

since the e/2 is allocated when the loop gets to it, not before, and e
might have changed since then!
