Isn't the evaluated value different from the expression? i++ returns the value of i before increasing. i-=-1 would return the value after it has been increased. Wouldn't it be more correct to make it equal to ++i

If you're hell bend on achieving the goodness of i++ equivalent you could wrap it up like this:
(i-=-1,i-1)

We're talking C here of course.
