better include "=" and augmented assignments as well.
on the other hand, we're talking about a single instance of a "someone"
here -- it's not like there's any sign that the comma issue is something
that lots of someones are confused about.
(...and given that the precedence table has been broken for over a
decade (see http://bugs.python.org/issue3558) due to a bug in the
Latex-to-HTML renderer, one might wonder if anyone gets that far into
the language reference at all...)
