   Python took over the C operator hierarchy, with one subtle little   
   twist. It slightly tweaked the precedence of the bitwise operators   
   relative to the comparisons, so you don’t need parentheses in   
   expressions like   
      
       (C)       («val» & «bitmask») == «testvalue»   
       (Python)  «val» & «bitmask» == «testvalue»   
      
   I have asked on comp.lang.c whether any existing C code could be   
   broken by making the same change in that language. In principle it   
   could, but nobody could come up with any real-world examples.
