Eike Rathke commented on OFFICE-2740:
-------------------------------------

There is no specialty with duplication, all unary operators work as designed or usual or ... you name it.
1%% is identical to ((1)%)%, ++1 is identical to +(+(1)) , --1 is identical to -(-(1))

To avoid confusion we should simply remove ", it can be duplicated (1%%), and it does not change the meaning of other operations such as "+"."
Of course it does not change the meaning of other operations, otherwise that should be noted instead.

> In the comments about the percentage(%) unary postfix operator, it says:
> Postfix unary operator % (divide by 100). Note that this is legal with expressions (e.g., [.B1]%), it can be duplicated (1%%), and it does not change the meaning of other operations such as "+".
> How is duplicating the operator (1%%) defined?
> Also, for the prefix operators (+,-), there is no mention of duplicating the operators, is this allowed, defined?
