  Thanx!  Everyone wondered why I asked it.  If you are doing
  transformations/similar math stuff or (like I'm doing) vehicle position updates
  for a military simulation, you'd like to be able to say

   pres_location += current_move;

C++ lets you do things like this with structures.  Granted you have to
define the +=, etc operation for it...
