Bah, whats the point of the increment and decrement operators if they don't return a value!

It's interesting to see how fragile (or maybe immature) this language was. I wonder how long they went on using it? It would be interesting to know if they're still using some version of this today.

The for syntax:
It's almost like we know it from the C language, for(a; b; c;) with that difference that b must always be present. In the C language this "b" can safely be omitted. In UOSL its presence is required. a and c can be omitted though.

C-language: for(;;)
becomes
UOSL-language: for(;1;)

Interesting note about the keyword "this". It can be reused as a member name, and it may be more helpful to think about it as an implied member object, rather than a keyword.

(this is also a teaser for the upcoming UOSL Visual Studio Extension 2.0)
