Well, for me, it isn't useful, unless you can show me I'm wrong. At least
give me an example that shows it's more useful this way.

Unless you show me why I should, I won't acknowledge it.

It's easy to say ``It's better this way'' or ``It's been like this for a
long time, it shouldn't change now''. Please just think about it and tell me
in which cases `` 'my' having higher precedence than comma is signficantly
more useful than if it had a lower precedence'', instead of just saying
``Let's all just acknowledge that fact''. I really can't find one way in
which the current behaviour is more `useful'!
