I have known that from the beginning. On first patch I did not get
it work correctly, so in second patch I disabled all gram.y hack
altogether. So this patch does not change anything in parser/.
At the moment it should be used: select 5 & (~ 6);

I can hack the gram.y and scan.l to get those operators to work
but as I saw no consensus has been reached in -hackers whether
and how it should be solved globally?
