Description:
------------
Result of pre-increment (also pre-decrement) operator is a value (`rvalue') rather than a reference to variable (`lvalue'). This prevents assigning result of the operator to reference, or passing it by reference.

There is no apparent reason for such limitation; the operator only applies to variables (never to other expressions), and PHP core supports references.

The requested behavior is similar to C++ (result of pre-increment operator is reference); the current behavior mimics C (result of pre-increment operator is an rvalue).

Test script:
---------------
$a = 0;
$b = 0;
$c = 0;

function foo(&$v) {
	$v = $v + 1;
}

++$a;
foo($a);
var_dump($a);

foo(++$b);
var_dump($b);

$b =& ++$c;
var_dump($c);


Expected result:
----------------
$a === 2
$b === 2
$c === 1


Actual result:
--------------
$a === 2
Strict Standards: Only variables should be passed by reference
$b === 1
