Bug description:  change of operator precedence

Hi,

maybe this can't be done because of scripts relying on current operator
precedence, but for the statement

$a & ~$b != 0

your current precedence rules would do

$a & ~( $b != 0 )

which is quite unusual. Traditional logics (used by Frege and others)
would first compute the negation, it is the most strongly bound operator.
For instance, having 

~p ^ q 

as a structured expression the negation would precede any other operator p
is argument of, or: p is not argument of the conjunction, but the
negation's result is.


Maybe I'm still false, but that's what I have expected to write logical
calculations like for years.


Best Regards,
Thomas Urban
