Applied.

This right here is a great example why I add next to no comments to
the code I write.  They are %99.999 of the time stating the obvious,
and where a comment is needed it's the code's fault and the code in
such cases could be rewritten to make what's going on more clear thus
making any commentary, again, redundant and stating the obvious.

Here the case is the former, it's of the form:

	/* Add one to 'a'! */
	a += 1;

Gee thanks for letting me know!  How insightful! :-))
