Routine adds C-like syntax to LISP programming by increasing or decreasing an integer value in the place given the symbol.

Increment and Decrement Functions (Tip #2156), revised by Rodney Thomas, is a set of new functions for LISP programmers who want C-like syntax. Rodney provides the functions '++ and '- which increases or decreases an integer value in the place given the symbol. For example, if you set the value of variable AA to 100 using (setq AA 100) you can use Rodney's routines as (++ 'AA) to add one to AA and then store the result back in AA. The quote mark is needed to pass the reference of the symbol. Thanks for a great tip that LISP programmers can use to see the dynamic power of the language.
