Perhaps a better example might be something like this:

int& set(int& x, int y) { x = y; return x; }

int x = 1, y = 2;
x = x++ + y++;  // undefined
set(x, x++ + y++);  // well-defined

Right, that makes sense (er, as much as any of this does ;-) ) - so
why is the built-in assignment operator not a sequence point, but the
assignment operator for a class is?
