Subject: [HACKERS] Use of multiple || and precidence

I have made a change so that all operators except "+-*/%" are now
left-associative, rather than being non-associative:

select 'a' || 'b' || 'c';

The old code does:

test=> select 'a' || 'b' || 'c';
ERROR: parser: parse error at or near "||"

Is this a problem for people? It will now not complain about
missing
parens, but left-associate all these operations. Any problems with
that?

The code still associates "+-*/%" so that "*/%" is done first, then
"+-".
