Interesting, my first guess would have been '60' since the old C89 / K&R C had the behavior

   (prefix ops) => ( statement ) =>(postfix ops) 
Which made code like

   *a++ = *b--; 
Change the pointers after the copy as opposed to having them change before the copy.

It is interesting that this has become compiler defined.
