Operator precedence strikes again. I always get & and | mixed up, in terms
of precedence. Gary Sarff, then how did this fragment of Icon code ever
work in the first place? Harbison & Steel, pg. 141, says bitwise & is
left associative, level 8 in precedence; bitwise | is 6L. Exclusive OR
sits in-between, at level 7L. I think this discussion is interesting in
its own right, it's not a complaint about Manx, of course. I'm interested
in compiler theory. I've been visiting Ed Ream again, the guy who's
writing the PL/68K dial-a-brew assembler/C compiler. It's compiling itself
already! He's doing it under CP/M 68K, so maybe it will be easier to port
to the Atari ST than the Amiga… :=)
