In article <10648@dog.ee.lbl.gov> I left out one word:
-All `precedence' does is assign some particular grouping to a set of
-symbols that otherwise have none.  For instance, given
-
-	x = a + b * c++;
-
-there is no
	   explicit
-	      grouping, and precedence (and associativity) is a simple way
-of describing how the expression is parsed.

(It makes much more sense this way.)
