I think this means you would want multiple versions of the +=1 opcode:
ADD_ONE_TO_NAME, ADD_ONE_TO_ITEM, ADD_ONE_TO_ATTR, etc. Essentially
one for each variant of the STORE operation.

Or you might choose to optimise just the local name case, on the
basis that the overhead of things like item and attribute lookup
would probably swamp any possible gains.
