That's an interesting idea. I don't think precedence is going to come up for them, at least not with the low precedence operators, so the advice may be "add parens if it's not working they way you thought it would". That way we get the readability. From my experience so far, use of parens to deal with precedence issues is going to very, very rare for our users. If they do run into issues, I may want them to talk to me about it anyway.

Now I just need a 'like' operator in Perl for regex matching..... ;)
