But, NetRexx is not the JAVA language. It is another mapping of the
Java VM to a language (it just happens to do this by compiling to the
Java language). It does not need to support the detailed syntax of the
Java language.

The more I read this thread, the less I like the idea. It is just
to easy to cut&paste a long name for the case where ++/+= are used,
and the "spelled out" manner of NetRexx is much clearer than this
extra little syntax is.
