$INCR: Increment a macro‘$INCR(N)’ redefines the numeric macro N to be one greater than its previous value. (If N does not simplify to a number, an error results.) In other words, in the language of C the effect is to say ‘N++’.
The two-argument form ‘$INCR(N,m)’ executes the equivalent of ‘N += m’.
