Argggh! As they say in numerical recipes: you should brush your teeth every 
night in front of the operator precedence rules for your language of choice.

It does surprise me though that % binds harder than +. I would naively think 
that by its nature, % would have fairly low precedence. Oh well, I'm sure 
there's a good reason for it being the way it is.

Thanks Janko!
