[nem-en] Increment and decrement operators

[Philippe Quesnel]

the +++ op would be nice for cases where we want to use the value,
but
this solution will probably not help people that expect ++ to return a value


your suggestion of a magical ++ that knows 'how to behave' would be really
nice.
(teach those operators some manners, will you .. so they know how to behave
! ;-)
