Re: NASL2: precedence of 'logical NOT'

Don't go changing the precedence from the standard ones used
in other programming languages. Standardize on A choice
(be it C, Java, Perl, whatever), and use the same one. It's
alot easier to document and just say "we use language Z's
standard".  Sometimes the right choice is not necessarily
the best one (else vi wouldn't live on so long ;-))
