We've never established the sequence point rules for statement
expressions, but I previously noted
<http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2003-07/msg01461.html> the case for having them
follow the non-overlapping rule for function calls, especially given that
inline functions get internally expanded into statement expressions.
