Indeed. That's why my C code looks like this:
if((a == 4) && (b == 3))
return(foo);
I have nightmares about finding myself in a language where the
rules of operator precedence are different. But regardless,
a few extra parentheses don't make a difference in the compiled
code, and eliminate possible ambiguity.

Things should be made as simple as possible, but no simpler.
