I'm with Kake on this one: I looked at it and thought, hmmm, statement with
two operators (one with the side-effect of assigning a value to $i) -
what's the precedence? And looked it up because "It may seem to you that
there are too many precedence levels to remember. Well, you're right, there
are" (Camel 3 p88).
I'm still intrigued to know what your middle stage was (wrong answer for
rightish reason).
