Changing operator precedence is usually a very bad idea, because it tends to break code in random places that are very hard to detect. Unless there's a huge reason to do it - and eliminating a couple of parentheses is usually not - I'd stay away from such things. If you have any doubts about precedence - just put the parentheses and forget about it. -- Stas Malyshev smalyshev@gmail.com
