Post incs not happening until after th ';' would be a reasonable
way
to implement it. BUT, K&R did not specify that. The post incs can
be done any time after the value of N is fetched for evaluation until
after the ';'. Also, should we assume that N will be incremented
twice?
I don't think K&R specified (ICBW; it's been a while since I read K&R
v1). ANSI explicitly specifies that the resulting behaviour is
undefined, which means it may be anything at all that the compiler is
capable of arranging for; it need not even include any attempt to
*read* N, much less increment it.
