Indeed. And cause demons to fly out of your nose.

I prefer not to have to remember precedence; I specify evaluation
order when I can't remember precedence; I specify precendence 
explicitly.

True, I suppose, but, as a minor point, precedence and sequence
points are determined by the standard. Any compiler worth the name
should get that right.
