This sounds like you've interpreted this statement as 'sometimes, the
precedence of operators changes'?

That's not what's meant - he (dmr) was just relecting on how things might
have been different. E.g., Dennis Ritchie tale of why some operators in C
have the wrong precedence:

In retrospect it would have been better to go ahead and change the
precedence... but it seemed safer just to split & and && without moving &
past an existing operator. (After all, we had several hundred kilobytes of
source code, and maybe 3 installations....)

by: spibou | last post by:
