Expression sequencing query

[Chris Torek]

Incidentally, I once used a system in which parentheses determined
only precedence.  (I used it early in my programming ventures,
which may explain my mindset.)  It did something rather novel,
which might help all these C programmers who think parentheses
directly control evaluation order:  It removed any `unnecessary'
parentheses.

(The system, incidentally, was an HP 9825A `desk-top calculator',
as part of an HP 3060A board test system.)
