>But the result of INC(Modula-2) is Modula-1.

Amusing, but still not legal Modula-2.  INC requires something
with an l-value, not a r-value.  Wirth misnamed Modula-2 in
the first place.  Should have been 'INC(Modula)'.  'INC(Modula-2)'
should be

	INC(Modula); 
	INC(Modula);

Yes, it is awkward.  I wish Modula-2 were less statement-oriented 
and more expression-oriented.  I preferred the Pascal standard
function: 

	succ(succ(Modula)).
