OK, for the moment, nothing is broken because the NASL1 scripts are
full of parenthesis but we have to chose something before NASL2 is
released as "stable".

1. Change ! so that its precedence is similar to && and ||
   (counter-intuitive, different from C  and Perl, but rather logical)
2. Leave ! as it is and hope that the script writers will put
   parenthesis where needed
3. Leave ! as it is and add a low priority "not" operator

After all, that may be a good compromise
