To my knowledge, it's exarkun. He wrote
http://intarweb.us:8080/evil/increment.py a long
time ago.
Let the directory name in the URL serve
as the "do not use this" indicator. I repeat, for
the benefit of any C programmers who think there's
something relevant about ++ for Python: ++ incrementing
is unclear, non-useful, and not part of Python's syntax
despite what hacks can make it appear to work. Do not
use the increment.py module.
